Released March 10, 2017 on PS4 in the West and June 26, 2018 on Xbox One, NieR: machines is without a doubt one of the greatest achievements of both Platinum Games and Square Enix. As a reminder, the title had reached 4.85 million copies were sold last September. At the end of 2020, the Japanese publisher announced that the action role-playing game has now exceeded the symbolic limit of 5 million units, physical and digital sales combined.

With such sales figures and the arrival of the remaster of the saga’s first opus planned for April 23, 2021 NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139…At least we can say that the franchise still has a bright future ahead of it.
As a reminder NieR: machines in its edition Become like gods has been included in the Xbox Game Pass console since April 2, 2020.
