Post-Apocalyptic Shooter Blowing Up Steam Has A Wild First Week

Once Human survives first round of server issues, privacy dramas and microtransaction controversies

Once Human is it hitting all the sweet spots to earn the customary 15 minutes of Steam fame. It’s a free-to-play survival crafting MMO about fighting through a world infested by a strange alien lifeform called Stardust, and its first week out has already been full of ups and downs. Made by NetEase Games’ Starry Studio and out on PC as of July 9, Once Human is currently the seventh most-played game on Steam and the fourth best-selling.

It requires an in-game currency called Starchrom, which, as some defenders point out, has to be earned and can’t just be purchased with real money. Once Human also initially limited players to one character locked to a single server which couldn’t be deleted. That decision, however, was quickly walked back. Starry Studios also walked back another controversial aspect of the game: limiting cosmetics to a single character.
