What is a way to fix or improve a game? Put it on the Xbox Game Pass for PC. Fans noticed that the Windows PC ports of Nier: automata and The evil within that Microsoft just added to its library offers substantial improvements or fixes that are not present in Steam versions.

So it not only includes all the original downloadable content, but it also features a borderless video setup that fixes game resolution (it was unstable in the 2017 version for PC). ResetEra forum users have found that the game does not appear to have crashes or crashes that bothers Nier: automatathe launch of Steam as well.

As for The evil withinYouTuber Jigzaw_Killer, who plays the game quickly on his channel, discovered a series of changes that make his Xbox Game Pass version “basically a remastering,” they said. The evil within joined the Game Pass and Game Pass for PC a week ago, after Microsoft closed the deal to acquire Bethesda Softworks.

Updates for The evil withinThe PC port, by Jigzaw_Killer, includes a first-person mode with a field of view option; low and medium camera shake effect options; an infinite ammo mode; icon callout when players are sneaking around or using the flashlight in first person view; and a resistance buff that allows players to run more. “The game also looks less rough and smooth,” said Jigzaw_Killer.

Nier: automata it was a technical disappointment on the PC when it was ported to the platform a month after its debut on PlayStation 4. Square Enix never released a patch to fix its many problems, so the modders decided to do things on their own and created the Fix Resolution Automates tool, via Steam, which improved the look and eliminated many bugs.
