NieR: Automata offers several editions, each with unique content. This guide clarifies the differences between the Game of the YoRHa and End of the YoRHa editions, and explains the Become as Gods edition.

Game of the YoRHa vs. End of the YoRHa Editions

The primary distinction lies in platform availability:

• Game of the YoRHa: PlayStation and PC.
• End of the YoRHa: Nintendo Switch.

Both include the base game and the 3C3C1D119440927 DLC, featuring:

• New outfits for 2B, 9S, and A2.
• Three challenge arenas with varying difficulty levels and associated quests.
• A new secret boss.

The End of the YoRHa edition adds optional motion controls and touchscreen support (handheld mode). However, it also offers a separate, cosmetic DLC (6C2P4A118680823) including costumes from NieR: Replicant.

The Game of the YoRHa edition boasts exclusive content:

• Various Pod skins (Play System, Cardboard, Retro Grey, Retro Red, Grimoire Weiss).
• An amazarashi Head Pod skin (PlayStation only).
• A Machine Mask accessory.
• PlayStation 4 dynamic theme and avatars (PlayStation only).
• Desktop wallpapers and a Valve character accessory (PC only).

In essence, both offer the complete game experience. The End of the YoRHa edition's extra DLC is purely cosmetic.

Become as Gods Edition

Exclusively available on Xbox, the Become as Gods edition closely resembles the Game of the YoRHa edition, including:

• 3C3C1D119440927 DLC.
• Machine Mask accessory.
• Grimoire Weiss Pod.
• Cardboard, Retro Grey, and Retro Red Pod skins.

Therefore, the choice depends on your preferred platform and whether you value the platform-specific bonus content.
