Once Human’s Latest Update Unlocks Full Control with Private Servers

Once Human is a popular multiplayer game with many survival elements. And what could be more obvious than to give players their own servers with a lot of freedom?

Basically, Once Human is a colorful mix of shooter, survival game and MMORPG. With this concept, it was able to inspire many and achieved on Steam a peak of over 230,000 concurrent players and a rating of 74% positive reviews.

With the latest update, players now have the opportunity to create their own servers with their own rules. The exciting thing is that you don’t have to hire an external provider for this, but get it directly from the developer. And they really offer a lot of freedom, which is so important for survival games.

What can I add to Once Human on a private server?

On your own servers, you become a game master and can decide whether there is PvP or a pure PvE experience. Of course, you have influence on whether everyone is allowed to enter your world or only invited friends.

You can also influence the weather and the day/night cycle, determine how quickly resources respawn, influence character attributes, or how quickly and easily buildings can be created and maintained. The developers are also planning more features in the future, including mod support and the creation of their own scenarios.

You can rent the private servers directly in the game’s interface, with moderate prices. A server for 4 players costs $5.29 for 30 days. The most expensive package is designed for 40 players and a 6-month term. You pay 289.99 dollars. Since your own servers have an official connection to the game itself, you can also use all rewards and premium items on them.

What’s next for Once Human?

The survival game is to get a 2.0 update soon. A detailed presentation of it will take place on July 2, 2025 in a livestream on YouTube. At the event, a new roadmap, the next scenario and details of upcoming “gameplay features, system improvements and community events” will be presented.
