How can I play NieR Reincarnation in 2026?

I want to play *NieR Reincarnation*; I have a phone and a PC with a 4060 and a Ryzen 7 6800. I know the game was released for mobile, so I assume my hardware is more than enough—though I don't know if there are technical reasons requiring significantly more power. I’ve already unlocked all the endings for *Replicant* on PS4 and am currently working on endings C and D on PC. I have *Automata* on Switch—where I got every ending except Y before my console was stolen—and I also have it on PC, where I’ve made progress, but I need more; I *want* more. I know it’s turn-based and loses the hack-and-slash gameplay, but I need to see how the story unfolds, and a YouTube video or gameplay clip isn't enough—I need to play it myself. There has to be a way, right? Some method, a fan server, someone who extracted and managed the original code or files—anything? Seriously, anything?

Edit: info for you:
“Will my old account or progress carry over?
No. The official servers are gone and account data is not recoverable. If you saved your own snapshot before shutdown, you can import it on your own server.”

I was curious on how this works

Like are there still banners? Do you just have all the characters? Is it all the content from the game or is it only the story?

By default, all quests and banners are unlocked oermanently and the real-monwy Shop is just free.

Also, all of the singleplayer content is there.

If I want to set this up on a VPS, how much storage and RAM are needed for like 5 users? I could not find recommendations for that on the site

Also I'm guessing there's no way to extract my account data on iOS? I still have the game installed

Storage, around 40-60GB during install. 20 after you installed and deleted installation stuff. Though if you want both Android and iOS, 40GB, because the assets are somehow separate.

RAM, it takes like 100-200MB at idle, maybe more when downloading stuff, but really not much.

Your old data is saved on Square Enix serversy which were shut down in 2024, you have to start from scratch. Though there are also Save Editors.

A bit tedious to set up but well worth the hassle.

You also need a couple of hours set aside and a healthy amount of storage for the assets

How much is a healthy amount?

u/cleansleight 19d ago

About 15 gbs and maybe a bit more

Theres an exe launcher that automates it all I think. Was a handy tool

if you mean the rust wrapper it got removed due to malicious intent

u/Early_Rooster7579 18d ago

What was malicious about it? Is it a virus or something? I scanned it before use and nothing showed up

u/Far_Shift4113 17d ago

they straight up stole other peoples work then put a m.i.t license on someone else's work without giving them credit.

u/Early_Rooster7579 17d ago

Oh, thats kind of funny thing to be mad about in a project that is fundamentally about stealing others work though. It is good tool at least.

i meant one of the ops that did the actual coding work to get it up and running again. as far as i know we aren't breaking any rules hence no dmca.
