Set in a post-apocalyptic future, Once Human is a multiplayer open-world survival game currently trending on Steam with over 80K concurrent players. The large player numbers make the servers unstable, leading to issues, especially network and login errors. Knowing the exact cause of the mistakes can save you much time you would otherwise spend troubleshooting. We regularly update the game’s server status during downtime or when there is a server glitch.

How to Check Once Human Server Status
Unfortunately, there is no direct way to verify the server’s status. Instead, you will have to rely on indirect sources and user reports. If many users have the same or similar issue, it’s most likely a server issue. You can follow us on X, where we share regular server updates and patch notes. You can also visit the game’s discord and check the announcement section for updates on the server. Besides that, the Steam community and Reddit are good sources to find users with the same issues.
