'Desktop Mate NieR:Automata YoRHa No.2 Type B DLC' has been released, featuring the famous '2B' on your desktop. Of course, it also includes the self-destruct costume purge.

YoRHa No. 2 Type B (2B) , the protagonist of the action RPG ' NieR:Automata ,' has been released as DLC for ' Desktop Mate ,' software that allows you to make characters appear on your desktop. It features a 3D model created exclusively for Desktop Mate, custom motions by Kaori Kawabuchi, just like in the original work, and a Japanese voiceover by Yui Ishikawa, who also voiced the character in the original work. The developer, Infinite Loop, kindly provided the character, so we tried it out.

To use the 'Desktop Mate NieR:Automata YoRHa No.2 Type B DLC,' you will need the base app 'Desktop Mate.' Desktop Mate itself is free, so install it first.

First, start Desktop Mate as usual. The initial character, '

Aiel-tan, ' will appear.

Next, right-click Aieltan and click 'Change Character.'

Click on 'YoRHa No. 2 Type B' to switch characters.

'2B' has appeared.

You can see 2B actually running on your desktop in the video below.

You can drag 2B around to move it around or place it on the taskbar.

Bring it over the window and it will sit on the window.

If 2B is sitting on the window and the window is moved up, 2B will lie down.

He gets shy when you pet him...

If left alone, it will stretch.

I'll take a fighting stance.

Be careful, you will get kicked if you press it repeatedly.

Right-click 2B and select 'Alarm' to set an alarm to ring at a specific time.

First I tried setting it after 1 minute.

When the time is up, 2B will move to the center of the screen and appeal to you. At this point, her goggles will actually come off, and you can see her putting them back on.

The actual video is below.

As I was fiddling around with it, the 'self-destruct system' suddenly activated.

A few seconds later, an explosion.

The costumes have changed.

Not just with this DLC, but with all Desktop Mate applications, GPU usage increases during startup because the app uses the GPU for processing. On a laptop with an Intel Arc 140T (16GB) built-in graphics card, GPU usage was around 70%.

The price of 'Desktop Mate NieR:Automata YoRHa No. 2 Type B DLC' is 2,200 yen (tax included).
