Once Human initially released for PC via Steam in 2024. It is also available on both iOS and Android.The PlayStation Store describes the game as follows:
Once Human is a multiplayer open-world survival game set in a post-apocalyptic world. Join forces with friends to fight for survival, construct your sanctuary, and conquer terrifying aberrations to unravel the truth behind the apocalypse. Do you still hold the answer to what it means to be human?
The world has fallen. An extraterrestrial substance called Stardust has infected everything—plants, animals, even the air we breathe. Most humans couldn’t survive… but you’re different. You’re a Meta-Human—one of the few who can harness Stardust’s power instead of being destroyed by it. With your abilities, you can fight back, rebuild, or even rule this broken world.
The Starfall has reshaped everything on the Nalcott. You, as a surviving “Meta,” must fight to survive across a vast 256 km² seamless map. Traverse frozen tundras, scale active volcanoes, cross raging rivers and treacherous swamps, or journey through deserts and oases. Whether you hunt, farm, build, or wage all-out war—your only goal is to survive.
You’re not alone in your fight against the ancient horrors. Team up with others to explore the unknown and outsmart your rivals. Face thrilling battles where strategy, teamwork, and quick thinking decide who survives. Work together, share your strengths, and fight for the last remaining resources—because only the strongest will make it out alive.
