NetEase Games Launches Cross-Platform Test for Once Human

Today, NetEase Games has unveiled the commencement of the cross-platform testing phase for the highly anticipated game, Once Human. This initiative primarily focuses on facilitating interaction between players on both mobile devices and personal computers (PCs).By enabling cross-platform play, players will not only have a broader network to engage with, but also enhanced opportunities for collaboration in building, combat, and exploration within the game’s immersive post-apocalyptic universe, inhabited by Lovecraftian creatures.

Availability and Future Plans

Currently, Once Human is exclusively accessible on PC, with plans for its launch on both Android and iOS platforms in April 2025. Notably, the forthcoming mobile versions will feature cross-compatibility, ensuring seamless interactions across devices.

Join the Cross-Platform Test

The cross-platform test is now live and open for participation until March 30, 2024. This is an excellent opportunity for players from Europe, Japan, and North America to get involved. Interested individuals can register by either completing a brief survey within Once Human or by connecting through the game’s official social media channels. As spaces are limited, early registration is highly recommended.

Testing on Mobile Devices

For those keen on experiencing the game on mobile hardware, iOS users will need to join via TestFlight, while Android participants can download the game’s APK directly from the official website. PC users will find the process simplified as they can access the test through the official client once their participation is confirmed.

Server Environment and Game Features

It has been confirmed that the cross-platform test will utilize the existing global server infrastructure established by the PC version of Once Human. This means players on both mobile and PC will have access to all scenarios, including the Visional Wheel and Lunar Oracle, creating a cohesive gameplay experience across platforms.

Pre-Registration for the Mobile Version

In conjunction with the cross-platform test, pre-registration is also underway for the mobile version of Once Human. The official launch of this mobile edition is set for an as-yet-unannounced date in April 2025. Players can pre-register to express their interest and stand a chance to win enticing in-game rewards, such as powerful weapons and essential items for their journey. Additionally, pre-registrants will be entered into a draw to win an iPhone 16 Pro Max.

Game Updates and Community Engagement

Since its official launch, Once Human has garnered positive feedback and has benefited from numerous updates, enhancing player experience with new PvP scenarios and features like Animal Ranching, which allows players to engage in a simulated farm life within the game.
