Once Human Dominates Steam Fest, Surprises with Wishlist Influx

Author : Ellie Update:Feb 11,2025

NetEase's upcoming third-person shooter, Once Human, boasts over 15 million global pre-registrations, highlighting its success at Steam Next Fest. However, a closer look reveals a significant difference between its mobile and PC performance. While pre-registrations are impressive, only 300,000 translate to Steam wishlists.

NetEase, known for its mobile game dominance, is prioritizing a PC-first release for Once Human, suggesting a strategic shift. Despite this, Once Human remains highly popular on Steam, attracting the largest player base during Steam Next Fest.

This situation underscores the disparity between PC and mobile gaming markets, with mobile platforms exhibiting significantly higher discoverability and reach, even for established developers like NetEase. While NetEase's PC focus isn't inherently negative, it highlights the challenges in achieving comparable success across different platforms.
