First-person mode is also confirmed!
Starry Studio and NetEase Games have now finally confirmed that the Once Human game will launch on Xbox Series X/S and PS5 on August 25, 2026.
This console debut will also arrive with the biggest update in the game, which will introduce first-person mode for all platforms.
This survival shooter has already received a wide audience on PC and mobile, and with its console release will (hopefully) generate plenty of additional fans for the post-apocalyptic world, along with cross-platform multiplayer and cross-progression options.
Once Human PS5 & Xbox Series X/S performance details
There will be two graphics modes available on the console. Quality mode will target 4K resolution at 60 FPS and Performance mode will deliver 120 fps, while sacrificing some of the resolution in visuals.
On PlayStation 5, users will benefit from the controller experience, which is especially designed for the DualSense. The studio has also confirmed support for the adaptive triggers and haptic feedback.
Players will be able to feel everything from heavy monster attacks and weapon recoil.
Cross-Play and Cross-Progression
The developers have also confirmed cross-progression for Once Human. If you have played this game on PC or mobile devices, then you can link your existing account on PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X/S.
This game will also support the cross-play option, which means everyone can play the game together, whether they are on PC, mobile, Xbox Series X/S, or PlayStation 5.

The game is free to play, but you can purchase optional cosmetic bundles. In the Starter Pack ($9.99), players will get exclusive cradle and weapon skins, a 30-day MetaPass, home decorations, and profile customization items.
In the Radiance Pack ($14.99), you will get three exclusive outfits, a Premium Battle Pass, additional lottery skins, a 30-day MetaPass, and a unique avatar frame.
