Square Enix accidentally botches a Nier: Automata update, balloons required file size from 50GB to 366GB on PC, but don't worry, there's a fix

Yesterday, Nier: Automata received a new patch on Steam, adding more language support to the title - it can now be played with Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese options - but this new update also, somehow, inflated the file size of the game on PC from about 50GB to 366GB. D'oh! What's worse is, the update is not optional.

The cause of this, reportedly, is a bug that caused all the DLC in the YoRHa Edition of the game to become the same size as the base game - and the new download stacks them all concurrently. "Only SquareEnix can turn 40GB into 366GB with 8GB patch," says one dissatisfied Steam reviewer.
