Nier: Automata on Game Pass/Windows Store is a different port to the Steam version, doesn't need the fan fix
If you bought the version of Nier: Automata released on Steam in 2019, the 'Game of the YoRHa' edition, you'll remember the controversy...issues included locked framerate, stretched UI in ultrawide, awkward keyboard-and-mouse controls, and problems with resolution that could only be fixed by downloading a separate program to enable borderless windowed mode...some players experienced stuttering and even crashes.
No patch was released for any of these issues...modders eventually came to the rescue with FAR, the Fix Automata Resolution tool, which not only fixed the bugs but also improved the visuals
On March 18th Nier: Automata was added to the Game Pass for PC subscription service and put up for sale on the Windows Store...it's not the Game of the YoRHa edition, however, but the 'Become As Gods' edition released on Xbox One in 2018, with the DLC bundled in...though it doesn't have the Valve Character Accessory it's the same game—except that it comes with borderless windowed mode as standard so it runs at the right resolution, there's an option to enable FidelityFX CAS, and players aren't reporting any of the stutters or crashes that affected the previous PC release
While it still has a framerate capped at 60, this does seem like an overall substantially better port than the one released on Steam...

Yep, Maybe one day there'll be an official patch for the game
On steam...
An upgrade patch for the Steam version of NieR Automata is in the works, Square Enix confirmed today...originally released in 2017, the Steam version of the second entry in the series released on Steam with a variety of issues that were never properly fixed, forcing players to install mods to play the game...more information on this highly-requested patch will be revealed at a later time...

Per Digital Foundry, the GamePass version still has some issues (like the FPS hopping between 59-60) that were fixed by fan mods:
I have a love/hate relationship with GamePass. It's such a great concept, but making those games UWP apps is a nightmare. You can't mod them or access some of their configs, they regularly have issues with full/borderless toggles (and therefore vsync and HDR), updates roll out slower, etc. Sometimes the games just flat-out don't want to launch, too.

Picked this up during the Steam sale. It didn't immediately pull me in but after 4 or 5 hours I'm really enjoying it. It's one of those rare games that feels like you're experiencing something special.
Performance has been great on my Linux desktop and Steam Deck. No issues at all.
It really is. It feels very much like a Kojima game to me. Very weird and special.It's one of those rare games that feels like you're experiencing something special.
