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.
