The popularity of Once Human exceeded the developers' expectations
Despite mixed reviews, the online player base for the multiplayer post-apocalyptic survival game Once Human is steadily growing on Steam. Starry Studio admitted that they did not anticipate such a buzz.

According to data from SteamDB, on Sunday, July 14, Once Human attracted a record number of concurrent users on Steam for the project — 231,668 people.
Due to the large number of players wanting to play, the Once Human servers are not performing as well as the studio would like. To somewhat alleviate the situation, Starry Studio decided to temporarily introduce a limit — no more than 8,000 people per server. The studio explained that overloaded servers lead not only to queues but also to data loss, and they find this situation unacceptable. In the future, Starry Studio plans to fix the server issues.
The total number of people who have played Once Human to date is unknown.
