Steam News announces the release of NieR:Automata for Windows, or as the announcement reads, "NieR:Automataâ„¢," the new action/RPG from Square Enix. This news post has some details of interest to those using older Radeon drivers and on how to run in 4K resolution, even though this is not official supported. Here's the deal on the game:

NieR: Automata tells the story of androids 2B, 9S and A2 and their battle to reclaim the machine-driven dystopia overrun by powerful machines.

Humanity has been driven from the Earth by mechanical beings from another world.

A war that could soon unveil a long-forgotten truth of the world.
