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

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, purchasable DLC, 6C2P4A118680823, containing additional costumes from NieR: Replicant.

Game of the YoRHa Edition Exclusive Content:

Beyond the base game and 3C3C1D119440927 DLC, the Game of the YoRHa edition includes:

• Play System Pod Skin
• Cardboard Pod Skin
• Retro Grey Pod Skin
• Retro Red Pod Skin
• Grimoire Weiss Pod
• amazarashi Head Pod Skin (PlayStation only)
• Machine Mask Accessory
• PS4 Dynamic Theme (PlayStation only)
• PS4 Avatars (PlayStation only)
• Desktop Wallpapers (PC only)
• Valve Character Accessory (PC only)

End of the YoRHa Edition Exclusive Content:

The only exclusive content is the separately purchased 6C2P4A118680823 DLC, offering cosmetic items such as:

• Replica outfits (2P, 9P, P2)
• YoRHa uniforms (variations for 2B, 9S, A2)
• Fox masks (white and black)
• Baubles (Under the Moon, Remnant Flower)
• Pod variations (Mama, Carrier)

Become as Gods Edition:

Available exclusively on Xbox, the Become as Gods edition largely mirrors the Game of the YoRHa edition, containing:

• The base game
• 3C3C1D119440927 DLC
• Machine Mask Accessory
• Grimoire Weiss Pod
• Cardboard Pod Skin
• Retro Grey Pod Skin
• Retro Red Pod Skin

In summary, the choice depends on your preferred platform and desired additional content. While the End of the YoRHa edition offers platform-specific features and an additional DLC purchase option, the Game of the YoRHa edition provides a substantial amount of bonus content included in the initial purchase. The Become as Gods edition offers a similar package to the Game of the YoRHa edition but for Xbox users.
