LOS ANGELES (Aug. 17, 2016) -- NieR: Automata™, the upcoming action-RPG from SQUARE ENIX® and PlatinumGames Inc, will launch on STEAM® for PC as well as the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system in early 2017.

(FINAL FANTASY® XIV / BRAVELY DEFAULT®), game designer Takahisa Taura from PlatinumGames Inc. (Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance), and composer Keiichi Okabe from MONACA, Inc. (TEKKEN / Drakengard 3 / NIER ).

I was considering trading in my PS4 for NEO but at this rate j might as well keep it, everything is coming to PC anyway except for handful Sony titles, Persona 5 and maybe a few others. FFXV was a big incentive but you know that is going to be on PC within a year.

Awesome, figured as much after the initial period they stopped referring to exclusive and whatnot on the images and promotions.

Does this mean PC in addition to Xbone and PS4? Did they mention release date exclusivity for the platforms?

PC and PS4 only for now. But out of all the PS4 exclusives from SE I'd imagine Nier is probably the most likely to have a chance of coming to Xbox.

I think Steam is day 1 if they announce it this early.

He's a pretty swell guy in my books anyway.
Nice! I thought this might have a good chance of coming to PC but it's great that they've confirmed it before it even came out.
