Once Human to Land on PS5 and Xbox Series on August 25

Day‑one cross‑play plus cross‑progression with a toggleable first‑person mode will unify player accounts across PC, console and mobile.

Overview

  • NetEase and Starry Studio confirmed the free‑to‑play MMO will arrive on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on August 25, 2026, with the PC edition added to the Microsoft Store at the same time.
  • The console launch includes full cross‑play and cross‑progression from day one so players can share one account, progress and match with others across platforms.
  • Consoles will ship with a new toggleable first‑person perspective that players can switch to anytime, a feature announced for consoles at launch while future PC and mobile support remains unconfirmed.
  • Performance options target 4K/60fps in Quality Mode and up to 120fps in Performance Mode, and the release adds controller haptics and trigger resistance tuned for boss fights and large enemies.
  • Pre‑orders are live for optional cosmetic bundles — a $9.99 Starter Pack and a $14.99 Radiance Pack — as the publisher leans on optional purchases while promising six Scenarios and a PvP spin‑off that NetEase says equal more than 300 hours of content at launch.
