Once Human's system requirements have been listed and it's good news for budget gamers with modest systems. If what the developers claim runs the game smoothly, the game must be well-optimized for what the visuals look like. This would be quite the opposite of what we have been seeing so far this year — visually impressive games that only run at playable framerates on the most powerful RTX 40 series video cards.
You probably won't have to upgrade your PC to play the upcoming multiplayer open-world game. This article contains a detailed list of system requirements.
The system requirements for Once Human are quite forgiving
Once Human is debuting on Android and iOS alongside Windows, which should give you an idea of what the level of optimization in the title will be like. To enable true cross-play, the developers have to unite multiple aspects of the game, which in turn could make it less demanding than other AAA-grade games.
Minimum system requirements for Once Human
At the bare minimum, Starry Studio recommends at least a 4th-gen Core i5, 8 GB of RAM alongside an Nvidia Geforce GTX 750 Ti, or an AMD Radeon RX 550. These cards are over seven years old. Even integrated Radeon graphics these days is faster than them.
We are expecting such a system will only play the game at 720p 30 FPS, which is lower than 2024 standards.
- OS: Windows 10 64-bit
- CPU: Intel Core i5-4460
- System memory: 8 GB RAM
- Graphics card: Nvidia Geforce GTX 750 Ti or AMD Radeon RX 550
- DirectX: Version 11
- Storage: 60 GB available space (HDD)
Recommended system requirements for Once Human
For the recommended requirements, Starry Studio suggests a Core i7-7700 with 16 GB of RAM, and a GTX 1060 6 GB, Radeon RX 580 8 GB, or Arc A380. The 1060 continues to be a champ in 2024 with enough rendering prowess to handle the latest games at 1080p 60 FPS.
Starry Studio stresses on SSD storage for the best experience in the survival game. You'll need 70 GB of free space to download it.

Overall, the system requirements of Once Human are much lower than what we have seen so far this year. According to Steam Hardware Survey, over 80% of gamers have cards more powerful than the minimum requirements. Almost every gamer will be able to play the title, which is a good move given the game will be free-to-play.
