Alright, so picture this: Once Human, that game everyone seems to be talking about, is supposed to make its grand entrance on PlayStation and Xbox. Yeah, 2026 is the year, or that’s what Starry Studio, the wizard developers under NetEase, are telling us. The game had, like, a whole journey starting on PCs and mobiles.
Now, back in July 2024 (funny how dates become a blur, right?), Once Human popped up on Steam. Honestly, it was like setting off fireworks — over 230K people jumped in at the start. Madness! You’ve got this game sitting pretty next to Marvel Rivals and Naraka: Bladepoint in the NetEase hall of fame. And man, those updates! Players are hanging around like it’s a favorite coffee shop, with 30K folks still hopping on each day. Something about the console launch feels like destiny or just, I dunno, locked in.
Fast forward a tad, and we’re at this big Global Annual Showcase event. July 2, 2025, if you’re keeping tabs — they dropped the bomb that the game’s coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. The magic word was “soon,” which always makes me roll my eyes a bit. But hey, for now, you can wishlist it, dream about it, whatever keeps the excitement fresh. And they reassure everyone that their accounts will sync across platforms because they’ve got it all figured out. Eventually.
Now, thinking about new horizons. Console players, who probably never gave a second glance, will join in the chaos. Wondering if they’ll talk about the game like it’s the new best thing since sliced bread. Mobile players are drooling over their ratings — 4.6 here, 4.5 there — it’s the virtual version of owning the coolest sneakers in school.
While waiting, explore the fancy Once Human 2.0 update, which artistically dropped alongside the announcement. New class system, strange PvE adventures, and some dreamy events — it’s like a digital buffet of oddities, really.
So this is where we’re at. A game morphing, evolving, drawing in a new fanbase. And amidst all the glitter and chaos, one wonders if 2026 will truly be as epic as they’re promising. Who can tell?
