NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139... is a remaster of an action RPG game in the NieR series originally released in 2010 on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. It was originally developed by Cavia and remastered by Toylogic. Both the remaster and the original have been published by Square Enix. The game is a predecessor of NieR: Automata.[2][3]
NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139... launched with issues where framerates above 60 FPS would cause the game to be sped up. This issue was addressed in a June 16, 2021 update.[4] Many other outstanding issues are fixable with a 3rd party mod.
