Once Human has finally released, and it’s come out with a bang. Not even a day has passed since its launch and the game is nearing 100k concurrent users on Steam despite its mixed review score on the storefront. Could this be the next Steam survival hit? The numbers certainly add merit to that arguement!

According to SteamDB , a website that tracks player counts on, er, Steam, the game has about 75k players buzzing around in it as of writing, with a 24 hour peak of 82,092. It also appears to be picking up traction on Twitch, with an all-time peak for viewership of 155,333. Not bad, for a breakout game without too much pre-launch hype around it.

Assuming the game can overcome those problems through hotfixes or patches, the long-term success of Once Human is a question of momentum and support. Filling down the harsher edges and keeping content coming for keen players. But hey, games have made waves with worse starts, so Once Human is probably a game worth keeping tabs on.
