The development team has been clear: Once Human will have native versions for current consoles, although no specific date or more precise window has been detailed yet. The only thing that’s certain for now is that it’s scheduled to arrive throughout next year, and some rumors even point to an early release in the first months of 2026 if everything goes as planned.

For those who don’t know, Once Human is a survival MMO set in a future distorted by an alien substance called Stardust. It combines elements of action, crafting, building, and exploration with a strong focus on online play, both competitive and cooperative. On Xbox Series, it’s expected to arrive with all current features and additional content.

• Since its release on PC in July 2024, the game has received constant updates, the most recent being the version 2.0 Dreamveil, which introduces the PvE scenario Endless Dream. This expansion includes new events like Fantasy of the Dreamland, the Carnival Subsidy, a revamped class system in public testing, and items like the Reward Pact package or the Light Forge: Final Abyss loot.
