As the fifth most wish-listed game on Steam, Starry Studio’s Lovecraftian epic is officially available on PC via Steam, Epic Games Store and Once Human official website. This news comes hot on the heels of the latest Steam Next Fest, which saw Once Human become the most-played demo of the event. With the official release, Once Human is also revealing some major updates including new crossover events, narratives, regions and deviations, as well as welcome gifts and rewards to players.
Once Human is free to play and will immerse players in a thrilling, post-apocalyptic setting in which they join forces with other players to fight for survival and unravel the truth behind the ongoing cosmic invasion. Build sanctuaries, conquer terrifying enemies and see if you still hold the answer to what it means to be human.
A mysterious extraterrestrial substance known as Stardust has contaminated the Earth, the planet has been reduced to a post-apocalyptic state and life, as we know it, is transformed into a twisted nightmare. It’s up to you, the Metas, to shape the future of humankind, whether you venture alone or forge alliances with fellow survivors.
Explore a Vast Open World Teeming with aberrant creatures
On your journey to uncover the truth behind the apocalyptic horrors, feel free to join forces with other players to face the unknown and fend off rivals. Engage in heart-pounding battles where tactics, teamwork, and instincts are the keys to victory. Explore five regions, five factions and over fifty types of deviants across more than one hundred Strongholds as you traverse the huge open-world expanse.
Immersive design and unique monsters
Experience top-tier visuals and cutting-edge 3D technologies like dynamic weather and ray tracing as you discover a world inspired by SCP Foundation, Lovecraftian Horror and post-apocalyptic aesthetics.
Encounter unique “Anima” monsters like the Wanderer, a walking bus roaming the land, or the Ancient One, the flying beast beloved by many players already. Capture Deviations to assist your survival as you further immerse yourself with the Fitness System, Limb-based Combat System and Sanity System.
Explore the open world your way

Even more deviation-capturing tasks will be offered in Lowe, including Identity V and “Paper Doll” from the Onmyoji series.
PvP mode: Highway Pursuit
This brand-new PvP mode offers up special reward vehicles, providing attacking players with valuable loot if they seek it out. However, entering the vicinity of each vehicle will enable PvP, so players are advised to take caution when others are nearby.
