Snackgirls editor note
Kirari: “Console players can now jump in today and check the server condition and controls for themselves.”
Red: “The important point is that consoles can play together, but PC and mobile are not mixed in. You need to decide where to line up with your friends first.”
The Once Human console open beta has begun according to the official FAQ. From Korea, servers opened at 11:00 AM KST on June 18, and the test runs until 4:00 PM KST on July 9.
The key point is that this is now beyond simply saying “the console version is coming.” The official FAQ lists the pre-download time, server opening time, and end time, making it clear who can jump in today and who may want to wait a little longer.
What this test confirms right away
The target platforms are PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Pro, and Xbox Series X|S. Console players can meet on the same servers, but the official FAQ states that crossplay with PC and mobile is not supported in this test.
So the first thing to check today is “which friends can I start Once Human with on console?” This beta is closer to a console-focused test with a limited platform mix.
Why this is worth covering now
Console beta news often arrives with vague timing, but this FAQ gives the access window and duration in clear numbers. Because the schedule from pre-download to the end date is fixed, you can decide right away whether to try it within this week.
It is also a clear plus that PlayStation and Xbox players can meet on one server. At the same time, it has also been confirmed that PC and mobile are not mixed in, so you should sort out where to gather your friend party in advance.
How to look at it right now
If you have been waiting for Once Human on console, today’s news is quite direct. Since the servers are already open, it is faster to check the controls and combat tempo yourself than to just watch videos.
In short, this console open beta is no longer at the “coming later” stage. It is now something you can enter and try. If you were wondering whether to give it a shot, today is the time to first decide your platform setup and then check how it actually feels to play.
