Once Human Opens Cross-Platform Test for Mobile and PC
Post-apocalyptic survival meets otherworldly horror in NetEase Games’ Once Human, now embarking on its first cross-platform test. Previously exclusive to PC, Once Human is poised to land on Android and iOS in April 2025, uniting players across all devices in a single, Lovecraft-infused wasteland.
With an already thriving community of PC survivors, Once Human is ready to broaden its world and let mobile gamers join the fray—whether fighting supernatural abominations or competing for dominance of scarce resources. The ongoing test runs until March 30, giving participants a taste of the integrated multiplayer experience before the official mobile launch.
Survival Beyond the Stars (and Platforms)
At its core, Once Human challenges players to outwit cosmic, Lovecraftian terrors in a fallen society. Groups must form alliances, scavenge for gear, and build up strongholds to withstand the nightmarish creatures that roam free. But not all threats come from fanged monsters—other players are just as determined to seize control of the wasteland.
By bridging PC and mobile ecosystems, NetEase Games merges disparate corners of its growing player base, enabling friends (and foes) to forge alliances or spark rivalries from virtually any device. The cross-platform capability taps into the game’s ongoing narrative, letting participants share in once-exclusive content, from Scenarios to the Visional Wheel/Lunar Oracle system.

The PC edition of Once Human has already amassed a sizable following, hitting multiple player milestones since release. By bringing the game to iOS and Android, NetEase opens the floodgates for an even larger community, ensuring epic battles over territory, resources, and the secrets buried in the twisted remnants of civilization.
