NiThe NieR Automata Steam release has finally received its first major patch, and some new comparison videos highlight the differences between the original version and the patched one.

The new videos, which have been put together by KyoKat PC Gameplay and 7AM Cafecito, highlight how some of the new options, such as the Global Illumination settings, do bring some very light visual improvements, but these small improvements still cannot compare with those introduced by mods. Additionally, the game still seems to suffer from the same performance issues that have been affecting the game since launch.
