Why it matters
The inflated figure traces to the eight DLC each reading 40.73GB in the Steam library, roughly 325.84GB total, so the fix corrects a display fault rather than a real storage requirement.

The eight DLC for NieR:Automata each showed 40.73GB in the Steam library while the bug was active, about 325.84GB combined. That per-item figure was nearly the same as the main game's, which points to the DLC capacity being displayed with the main game's value. The store page kept listing 50GB of recommended free space throughout. Square Enix published the game and PlatinumGames developed it; worldwide shipments and download sales passed 10 million copies in February.
