The console and mobile versions of the game will be released at a later date.
System Requirements
Once Human does not need a demanding PC for the bare minimums of visual preset, but if you aim to run it at 60 FPS without occasional framedrops, an RTX-infused graohics card is required.
- Minimum
- CPU: Intel Core i5-4460
- GPU: Nvidia GTX 750Ti or AMD R9 270
- RAM: 8 GB
- Recommended
- CPU: Intel Core i7-7700
- GPU: Nvidia GTX 1060 or AMD RX 580
- RAM: 16 GB
- Smooth 60 FPS Requirements
- CPU: Intel Core i5-12400F
- GPU: Nvidia RTX 3060 or AMD RX 6650
- RAM: 16 GB
The space required to install the game is between 60 GB and 70 GB based on the texture quality, and you are highly suggested to run it on an SSD. Also, the game requires Windows 10 (64 bit) as the operating system. Additionally, a broadband internet connection is also required, as you will need to connect to the servers even if you play it solo.
Once Human is a self-publish and debut title from Starry Studio. Currently, it sits at the fifth spot of the most wishlisted games on Steam, which could give you an idea how many gamers are looking to play it at launch, especially knowing that you don’t have to pay anything.
