Once Human has had two successful Closed Beta tests on PC, with a third currently ongoing. However, given that the game is multi-platform with a version for smartphones, mobile players may be wondering if there’s a closed beta test coming to mobile as well. Well the answer is yes, and we’ve got the details right here.

Once Human Mobile Closed Beta End Date And Time
No official announcement has been made regarding the prospective end date for the Once Human Mobile Closed Beta.
The third Once Human Closed Beta on PC which is currently ongoing, is expected to run for 42 days, or 6 weeks from its start date of April 4, 2024, 7 PM Pacific Time. That puts the potential end date for the PC closed beta on May 15, 2024, 7 PM Pacific Time.
It’s hoped that the mobile beta test will run just as long as Once Human CBT2 and CBT3 for PC.

Note the the mobile closed beta is separate and exclusive from the ongoing PC closed beta, and therefore must be signed-up for again. Mobile beta testers will be provided access to the PC closed beta as well.
The server population is expected to be kept very low, and only the lucky few selected will be able to participate after their applications qualify. The mobile closed beta test is also restricted to the United States, Canada, France, and Germany, with even those being whittled down to the best smartphones to handle the high system requirements of Once Human Mobile.
Check your email to see if you have qualified, including the Spam folder. Your access, once granted, will be automatically linked to your Google Play Store or Apple App Store account.
Once Human Mobile Closed Beta: Is There Crossplay?
The announcement news for the Once Human Mobile Closed Beta test stated that players “can also interact with their cross-platform friends”, but did not elaborate further about how or to what extent. Are the interactions indirect multiplayer such as sharing world information and trading items? Or actual cross-platform gameplay? The actual mechanics remain to be seen. Watch this space for more.
Once Human Mobile Closed Beta: Is There Mobile-Only Crossplay?
It is currently unknown if crossplay can be completely disabled, no matter what the actual extent of the functionality is.
Once Human Mobile Closed Beta: Is There Cross-Progression?
The same announcement for the mobile closed beta test stated that “players can continue playing the same character from PC on the mobile version”, implying that any PC beta testers lucky enough to also get mobile beta test access, and vice versa, will be able to share progression between platforms, presumable through a unified game account, the way Battle.net operates, for example.
That’s everything about the Closed Beta test for Once Human Mobile on Android and iOS.
