"Once Human Unveils Cross-Platform Testing for Mobile and PC Ahead of Launch"

Author : Eric May 29,2025

Once Human, the highly anticipated post-apocalyptic shooter from NetEase, is now launching its inaugural cross-play test. This exclusive event offers players a glimpse into how cross-progression will function when the game makes its debut on mobile platforms in April. Although this is a closed beta, it confirms that players will enjoy uninterrupted continuity between devices, making their gaming journey seamless and hassle-free.

NetEase has enjoyed significant success recently with Marvel Rivals, but Once Human marks another milestone for the company. After its initial release on PC, the game is finally heading to mobile, bringing its unique blend of rich graphics and fast-paced, horror-inspired run-and-gun action to a wider audience. While previous beta rounds have provided a taste of what’s to come, this cross-play test offers a more comprehensive experience, showcasing the game's full potential.

Set in a world reshaped by a supernatural catastrophe, Once Human tasks players with uniting as survivors to explore, rebuild, and reclaim the shattered remnants of civilization. However, even among fellow humans, danger lurks, adding layers of tension and strategy to the gameplay. With its stunning visuals and immersive narrative, Once Human has captured the imagination of gamers worldwide, and the upcoming cross-progression feature is expected to elevate the experience further.

The current test runs until March 30th, with registration still open for those eager to participate. Despite NetEase’s recent focus on Marvel Rivals, Once Human is poised to attract a dedicated mobile following. Its stylish design and engaging mechanics make it an ideal fit for mobile gamers.

For those looking to explore other innovative titles, Stephen’s recent review of Black Salt Games’ Dredge highlights another unique blend of genres—fishing simulation meets horror—with a touch of Lovecraftian intrigue. Both games showcase the industry's growing trend of blending diverse themes into compelling experiences.
