Once Human System Requirements

Once Human is a free download that still asks for a serious disk. This page copies the Steam PC spec (app 2139460) and adds console/mobile notes from the 2026 live game. If you fail the minimum, the getting started guide will not save the frame rate.

PC — minimum (Steam)

• OS: Windows 10 64-bit
• CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 / Snapdragon X
• RAM: 8 GB
• GPU: Nvidia GTX 750 Ti 4 GB / AMD Radeon RX 550 / Qualcomm Adreno X1
• DirectX: 11
• Network: Broadband (this is an online game; there is no offline campaign)
• Storage: 100 GB available
• Note: SSD is highly recommended

PC — recommended (Steam)

• OS: Windows 10 64-bit
• CPU: Intel Core i7-7700 / Snapdragon X2 Elite
• RAM: 16 GB
• GPU: Nvidia GTX 1060 6 GB / AMD RX 580 2304SP / Intel Arc A380 / Qualcomm Adreno X2
• DirectX: 12
• Storage: 100 GB, SSD strongly implied

These numbers are the store page, not a magic esports preset. Nalcott with Deviants, hives, and Prime War is heavier than a 2016 1060 benchmark video. DLSS / XeSS / Reflex appear in the detected tech list; turn them on if you have them. Close overlays if the shader stutter feels like a freeze.

SSD and patch sizes

The 100 GB line is the install. Patches on top are rude. Version 3.0.5 published a ~13.65 GB PS5 launcher figure with an 84 MB in-game delta; PC notes have shown 10–22 GB launcher hits and tiny client hits, plus Steam sometimes downloading twice if the depot lags. Leave free space. A spinning disk will make Territory Core loading feel like a second survival meter.

Steam Deck is listed Unsupported. Do not buy a Deck for this title based on copium.

Console

PS5 and Xbox Series shipped 25 August 2026. If the box is a Series S or a base PS5, expect the team to keep shipping large launcher updates. Internal storage plus a fast external SSD is the practical plan. See the console launch recap for week-one download pain.

Mobile

iOS and Android have been live since 23 April 2025. The Play Store listing is a multi-gig live-service client, not a 200 MB casual. Use Wi-Fi for first install and for the 1–2 GB patch notes that show up beside PC maintenance. A phone that throttles in the sun will not enjoy Red Sands plus first-person.

Settings that buy frames

• Cap FPS in crowded hives; uncapped 4K on a 1060 is ego.
• Drop shadows and volumetric fog before you drop resolution to soup.
• First-person can feel heavier than third in some scenes — toggle on the controls page if you are hunting frames, not immersion.
• Base building camera is a slideshow on minimum GPU if you flood the core with lights. Build practical, then pretty (base building).

Network

Online co-op and PvP need a stable connection. Hotel Wi-Fi plus RaidZone is a highlight reel for someone else. Cross-play does not change the ping math; it only adds PC players to the lobby.

If you pass recommended spec, skip this page and go redeem codes. If you fail minimum, this is the whole conversation.
