Once Human Surpasses 230,000 Peak Players
NetEase's post-apocalyptic survival game, Once Human, achieved a remarkable 230,000 peak concurrent players on Steam upon its PC debut, securing a top-seven spot in sales and a top-five position in most-played games. The mobile version, initially planned for September, has been delayed, though new updates are on the horizon.
These updates include a player-versus-player (PvP) mode pitting the Mayflies and Rosetta factions against each other, and a new player-versus-environment (PvE) area in a northern mountain region, introducing fresh challenges and enemies. Set in a world ravaged by a cataclysmic event, Once Human is a highly anticipated title from NetEase.
Initial Success, Potential Concerns?
The 230,000 figure represents a peak player count; the average player base might be lower. This initial drop-off, coupled with the game's Steam wishlist count falling short of the anticipated 300,000, raises questions about long-term player retention.
NetEase, known for its mobile game dominance, is strategically expanding into the PC market. While Once Human boasts impressive visuals and gameplay, a rapid shift in primary audience might prove challenging.
Despite the mobile release delay, Once Human's future remains bright. In the meantime, explore our curated lists of the best and most anticipated mobile games of 2024 to discover other captivating titles!
