The NieR: Automata video game has surpassed 9 million units sold as of late December 2024. Square Enix made the new milestone announcement via the official X account for the NieR series. The company combined the number of physical shipments and digital sales worldwide throughout all platforms on which the game has been available, which are the PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Switch.
The last milestone Square Enix declared before this was 8 million in late February 2024. That announcement coincided with the seventh anniversary of NieR: Automata, which launched first on the PS4 in Japan on February 23, 2017. This means it took around ten months for NieR: Automata to add another million to its lifetime sales figure and reach 9 million.
The sheer popularity of NieR: Automata led to an anime adaptation of the game being made. The second cour of NieR: Automata Ver1.1a aired in 2024. Many companies also revealed a plethora of figures and other merchandise based on the anime adaptation throughout the year. The merchandise lineup ranged from crane game prize items to luxurious jewelry. The figures are also available in various sizes from 1/4 scale to smaller non-scale figures like Pop Up Parades and chibi versions like Tiny Melties.
NieR: Automata is available worldwide on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
