Square Enix has announced that NieR: Automata, the acclaimed action-RPG developed in partnership with PlatinumGames, has surpassed the remarkable milestone of 10 million units sold worldwide.
The figure encompasses both physical shipments and digital downloads across all available platforms, including the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and Windows PC.
Released originally in 2017 and later brought to Nintendo Switch with NieR: Automata – The End of YoRHa Edition, the game continues to enjoy enduring global popularity. To commemorate this achievement, Square Enix published a special anniversary video, thanking the dedicated fanbase for its ongoing support.
In a notable moment within the celebration, the closing message stated that the series is "to be continued." While the publisher has not clarified what form this continuation will take, the phrase has already sparked excitement and discussion among fans hoping for new content or collaborations in the NieR universe. Since its launch, NieR: Automata has been celebrated for its innovative gameplay, distinctive narrative, and memorable soundtrack—all overseen by creative director Yoko Taro.
The title earned critical acclaim for its unique blend of action and storytelling, establishing itself as a standout hit within Square Enix’s catalog and securing the franchise’s status within the gaming landscape.
The game’s multi-layered approach to player choice and its philosophical themes have resonated deeply with audiences worldwide. The Nintendo Switch version, released in October 2022 as The End of YoRHa Edition, enabled a new wave of players to experience the game's gripping journey on a portable platform.
The release was lauded for its faithful adaptation and strong performance on Nintendo’s hybrid hardware, boosting interest and adding substantial momentum to the already popular title.
Comprehensive support and regular updates through the Nintendo eShop helped maintain an active player community. While Square Enix’s hint at the franchise's future leaves the door open for various possibilities, whether through further collaborations, crossover events, or entirely new games, the studio emphasizes its appreciation for the passionate fanbase that propelled NieR: Automata to this significant sales milestone.
In statements made during the commemorative video, Square Enix expressed gratitude for the players’ enthusiasm and promised ongoing engagement: “We are deeply thankful to all who have supported NieR: Automata.
The journey is not over yet.” NieR: Automata stands as a testament to the power of creative vision and cross-platform development.
As anticipation grows regarding what comes next for the series, fans can revisit the game on Nintendo Switch and other platforms, confident that the legacy of NieR will continue to evolve in the years ahead.
