NetEase's post-apocalyptic survival game, Once Human, has achieved a remarkable 230,000 peak concurrent players on Steam, securing a top 7 spot in sales and a top 5 position in most-played games. This initial success, however, is tempered by the possibility of a player decline. The game, slated for mobile release in September, has already announced upcoming updates including a PvP mode for the Mayflies and Rosetta factions, and a new PvE area in a northern mountain region.

A Cause for Concern?
The use of "peak" player count is significant. The average player count may be considerably lower, and a rapid drop-off from the peak could signal trouble, especially considering the game's initial Steam wishlist count fell short of 300,000.
While NetEase is a mobile gaming giant, its foray into the PC market with Once Human represents a significant shift. Despite the game's impressive visuals and gameplay, a swift transition to a primarily PC audience may prove challenging.
The mobile release, currently scheduled for September, remains highly anticipated. In the meantime, explore our curated lists of the best and most anticipated mobile games of 2024 for alternative gaming options.
