Overview

Once Human is an open-world survival game set after a mysterious substance called Stardust has mutated people and wildlife into strange creatures. Players are Meta-humans who can resist the corruption and must rebuild while fighting both monsters and other survivors.

Play combines third-person shooting with gathering, crafting and base building. Players can move their base around the map, tame and use Deviants, which are anomalous creatures with special effects, and take on dungeons and world bosses. Many servers run in seasons with different scenarios, after which progress partly resets and certain rewards carry over.

The game launched on PC in July 2024 and on iOS and Android in April 2025, with cross-play and shared progress between PC and mobile. It is free to play, with cosmetics and a battle pass sold in the store. Some scenarios include PvP.
