Once Human Soars to 230,000 Peak Players

Once Human has hit a 230,000 peak player-count on Steam
It also grabbed the seventh top seller position and number five on most-played
But it does indicate a potential falloff in players just out of the gate

Once Human, the post-apocalyptic open-world survival game from NetEase has seen a peak player count of 230,000 during its initial PC release. The game, which is set to release in September for mobile, has also teased some new updates that are coming hot off the heels of this announcement.
The two big additions are set to be a PvP encounter for the Mayflies and Rosetta factions, and a PvE area in a new northern mountain region set to feature new enemies and more. Once Human, which is set in a world that has suffered a catastrophic event resulting in borderline supernatural phenomena, is one of NetEase's hotly-anticipated releases.
However, surprisingly, despite seemingly being ready to launch, NetEase has chosen to push back the mobile release for Once Human, which is still slated for September. Once Human has still grabbed the seventh top seller position, and number five on the most-played list since launch, however.

While the developer has established its reputation on mobile, it appears to be making a significant push towards PC. And while Once Human appears to be impressive in both graphics and gameplay, it may be somewhat ambitious for NetEase to expect that they'll be able to transition their core audience so rapidly.

Nevertheless, Once Human's release for mobile is bound to be thrilling, whenever it arrives.
