When is Once Human coming to consoles?

Once Human is the newest breakout hit on the Steam charts. While it will take a few years to see if it can hold its place and be considered one of the best PC games out there, for now, players are loving what it has to offer.

Once Human drops players into a massive open world overrun by alien-infected monsters. As is the case with the best survival games, you can build up your base, team up with friends (or fight against them), and craft new and better equipment to take down the biggest and baddest bosses. Plenty of games get their start on PC and eventually come to consoles to become cross-platform games, but some remain locked to PC forever. Is that the fate for Once Human, or will you be able to play it on consoles one day?

Will Once Human come to consoles

Hi! We will carefully deciding whether to release the game to console based on the testing and player feedback, which will take some time. If there is any update, it will post it to our social media, so stay tuned!

As of the time of this writing, there are no plans for when or if Once Human will come to consoles. The developers have addressed this issue on X (formerly Twitter): “Hi! We will carefully [decide] whether to release the game to console based on the testing and player feedback, which will take some time. If there is any update, it will post it to our social media, so stay tuned!

It appears that the team first wants to make sure the PC version is as stable and polished as possible before considering a console port, and even then only if enough players request it.

We will monitor the situation and update this article as new updates arrive. For the time being, the safe bet is to assume the only way to play Once Human is on PC.

ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN – REVEAL GAMEPLAY TRAILER

Elden Ring: Nightreign, the hotly-anticipated multiplayer title, might have DLC that features additional playable characters and bosses. The information comes from a single, now-removed line of text on the Steam page. Given the speed with which FromSoftware deleted the sentence, it's likely the information wasn't meant to go public yet.

Mecha Break’s upcoming open beta is your best chance to play yet

Mecha Break is an upcoming game that lets players live out their Gundam dreams with just a touch of Armored Core tossed in, and it's about to have an open beta on Steam that anyone can join. This beta is your best chance to play the game before release, so if you're interested, don't miss out.

The game places an emphasis on customization, so you can design the mech suit you've always wanted and pit it against other players. Oh, and the customization extends beyond just components and weapons. You can also choose custom paint colors if you'd prefer to have the most garish mech on the battlefield. Who says a bright-pink tank with lime green accents isn't effective psychological warfare?

The hardest video games of all time
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

We all come to video games for different reasons. Sometimes we want a chill game to relax to, others a fun co-op experience with a friend, but other times we're looking for a challenge. Early on in the console generations, difficulty was the norm and it took a lot of trial, error, and skill to even see the end of most games. We still face hard bosses in modern games, but it usually isn't the entire game that is punishing. There's an expectation that most people will be able to beat most current and upcoming video games, but not all games are so kind. Whether it be due to bad controls, unfair mechanics, or simply because the developers wanted to make things unfair, these are the most difficult video games of all time.

Before getting to the list, we are basing this list on the core game itself and not any extra challenges or going for secret endings. We also won't be including games that are meant to be impossible or that feature user-generated content.
