NetEase's post-apocalyptic shooter, Once Human, is launching its first cross-play test, giving players a sneak peek at the cross-progression features arriving with the mobile launch in April. This closed beta confirms seamless transitions between devices.

Following the recent success of Marvel Rivals, NetEase's Once Human (initially released on PC) is finally making its way to mobile. The game casts players as survivors in a supernatural apocalypse, tasked with rebuilding society and battling monstrous threats—even facing challenges from fellow humans.

The highly anticipated launch combines stunning visuals with horror-infused run-and-gun gameplay. While previous beta tests have occurred, this cross-progression feature is a significant draw, offering a final chance to experience Once Human before its April release.

More Human Than Human

The test runs until March 30th, with sign-ups still open. While Once Human might not have captured a large PC audience compared to Marvel Rivals, its stylish shooter mechanics seem perfectly suited for mobile gamers. The upcoming mobile launch is excellent news for those eager to play.
