Once Human has finally arrived on mobile, opening the gates for players to experience its post-apocalyptic survival gameplay on the go. Whether you’re just jumping in or planning to bring your PC progress over, this beginner guide will walk you through everything you need to know — from setting up, choosing a server, understanding events, to redeeming codes and more.
What Is Once Human?
Once Human is a multiplayer open-world survival game set in a world ravaged by alien contamination. Players must gather resources, build shelters, and fend off both mutated creatures and other players while unraveling the mysteries of the world.
The game blends PvE and PvP, allowing for both solo survival and faction-based warfare, depending on your chosen server and game mode. Originally released on PC, the mobile version offers nearly identical features, now optimized for touchscreen controls. Players can either link their existing PC accounts or start fresh on mobile-only servers.
Device Requirements and Download Info:
To run Once Human Mobile, make sure your device meets the following:
- Android Minimum: Snapdragon 845 / Android 8.0
- iOS Minimum: iPhone XS / iOS 12
- Recommended: Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 / iPhone 13 Pro / iOS 15
- Storage: Around 25 GB (initial download uses 19 GB, with extra game packages ranging from 4.8 to 6.4 GB)
Server Types: Choosing the Right One
There are different types of servers tailored for various playstyles:
- Manabis (PvE) – For players who prefer cooperative boss fights and story exploration.
- Evolution’s Call (PvP) – Similar to Manabis but includes faction wars and player battles.
- Prism Versus Clash (PvP) – Focuses on faction-based warfare.
- The Way of Winter (PvE) – Set in a winter-themed region, featuring survival with environmental challenges.
Mobile-only servers are also available if you want a fresh start and avoid cross-play with PC users. If your friend’s server is full, you’ll need their invitation code to join. Otherwise, you may have to select another server.
Cross-Platform Info: Playing on PC & Mobile
You can transfer your character between PC and mobile if you use the Loading Bay client. Note: Steam and Epic versions are not cross-compatible. If you create a character on mobile first, you’ll need to use Loading Bay on PC to access it.
