NetEase's post-apocalyptic survival game, Once Human, debuted on PC with a peak concurrent player count of 230,000 on Steam, achieving seventh place in top sellers and fifth in most-played games. The mobile version, initially slated for September, has been delayed, though the developers have teased upcoming updates.
These updates include a PvP mode pitting the Mayflies and Rosetta factions against each other, and a new PvE area in a northern mountain region introducing fresh enemies and challenges. Set in a world ravaged by a catastrophic event leading to supernatural occurrences, Once Human is a highly anticipated title from NetEase.
A Cause for Concern?
The 230,000 player peak is noteworthy. This figure represents the highest concurrent player count, implying the average player base may be lower. A significant drop from the peak so soon after launch could be a warning sign for NetEase, especially considering the game initially boasted over 300,000 Steam wishlists.
NetEase, known for its mobile game successes, is making a considerable push into the PC market. While Once Human's graphics and gameplay are impressive, a rapid shift in their core audience might prove challenging.
The mobile release of Once Human, whenever it arrives, is still highly anticipated. In the meantime, explore our curated list of the best mobile games of 2024 (so far) or check out our list of the year's most anticipated mobile games for other exciting options.
