[p][/p][p]Thank you for always using Desktop Mate![/p][p]We are excited to announce that the Desktop Mate NieR:Automata YoRHa No. 2 Type B DLC will be released on Steam on Thursday, October 9, 2025! The Steam store page is now live starting today.[/p][p][/p][p]This DLC brings 2B, the protagonist of the globally beloved NieR:Automata, right to your desktop. The Desktop Mate version of 2B includes many motions that fans of the original game have come to expect. Her signature movements have been faithfully reproduced in detail, such as her subtly crossing her legs, sitting facing away, and adjusting her knee-high socks.[/p][p]A key feature of this DLC is that her outfit will change after a certain motion, allowing you to enjoy all subsequent motions with the altered costume. You can fully appreciate 2B's charm in both her standard appearance and her transformed look.[/p][p][/p][p]✨ Desktop Mate NieR:Automata YoRHa No. 2 Type B DLC Features ✨[/p]
