Once Human recently added custom servers that will let players make their own experience and modify the rules. This was a major content boost for the game. With the new feature announcement, the developers also revealed Global Annual Version 2.0 Showcase which will give a preview of new content and features.
Once Human launched in July 2024 and gained traction quickly, peaking at over 230,000 concurrent players on Steam. Due to its blend of action survival gameplay, eerie environments, and an easy-to-use base-builder, you get this result. Since the game was made available to the public, it has been updated regularly, implementing new features to keep the player base alive and well. One of the new additions in April was canines, a feature fans requested and was gratefully accepted by the fan base.
Custom Servers Give Players Total Control
Once, Human’s latest update sees the addition of Custom Servers before the Global Annual Version 2.0 Showcase on July 2, 2025. These private servers allow players to modify their gaming experience with options ranging from peaceful sandbox to punishing survival.
The devs state that server owners can set a range of options, including how the weather works, how fast days and nights come, what kind of stats characters start with, how much experience players earn, how quickly a resource regenerates, and how hard it is to build. Gamers can select either existing PvE or PvP presets or build completely new ones. Future updates will bring modding tools and unique options for crafting scenarios and personalizing even further.
Dedicated Infrastructure Ensures Smooth Operation
Custom servers run separately from the main game servers for stability and security purposes. Each server comes with a Dedicated Server Management Panel that allows game master-level access, full admin access, and player access controls.
Only those who receive a private invitation code can access servers, though anyone can join public servers. The in-game store allows players to subscribe to these Custom Servers, with prices that vary depending on server capacity and subscription length. Once Human’s free play leaves players confused, but the new Custom Servers brings in a pay option for personal multiplayer.
Global Showcase Will Unveil New Content and PvP Spin-Off
Roadmap for Version 2.0 and teaser for Once Human: Raidzone.
The next Showcase is going to share Once Human’s updated development roadmap along with the first look at a brand new Scenario. Moreover, players can expect more information on Once Human: Raidzone, a PvP spinoff title that is already accepting pre-registrations before its July launch.
Pre-registration for the Annual Version 2.0 update is now open with the Showcase announcement. If players register early, they will get in-game items, including a Graffiti T-Shirt cosmetic, the Version 2.0 Avatar, Butterfly’s Emissary Crates, and Starchrom.
With these big new additions, and a look at some future plans, Once Human continues to grow, allowing players to sink deeper into their control and gives fresh reasons to return.
