To survive in Once Human‘s hostile environment you’ll have to scavenge, build, and upgrade your resources, but you don’t have to do it alone. Since everything in Starry Studios’ multiplayer survival game involves multiplayer interaction, chances are you want to know if you can play on a PlayStation or Xbox console.

Once Human is unavailable to play on any console. This includes PlayStation consoles such as the PS5 and the PS4, as well as Xbox consoles like the Xbox Series X|S and the Xbox One. Furthermore, Once Human is not playable on the Nintendo Switch either.

Since Once Human is not on any consoles, this also means there’s no cross-platform multiplayer, meaning you’ll only be playing with fellow PC players.

There’s been no official announcements from Starry Studios regarding the possibility of a console version of Once Human. However, if the game’s PC and mobile launches are successful, the dev team may be incentivized to port the game over.

The devs have also stayed tight-lipped regarding the possibility of a solo console release, so PlayStation and Xbox fans will have to stay posted on any potential updates. Porting a game as large as Once Human does take a significant amount of time and effort, so don’t be surprised if we hear very little on that front for some time.

Right now, any gamers who are looking to jump into the dangerous, exciting, and fresh world of Once Human will have to play on PC.
