In this article, we will discuss the possibilities of the game launching on consoles.

Is Once Human available on PS4 and PS5?
No, the game won't be released on consoles today at launch. Once Human's developer Starry Studio is one of NetEase's companies, and this game is its first project.
The studio has done a total of three beta tests on PC, Android, and iOS, and consoles were clearly missing from the tests. Therefore, the game will not be released on PS4 and PS5 upon launch.
However, Starry Studio may be carrying out internal tests on the consoles. A user on X asked about console support, and the developers replied they would let gamers know when there is an update about the same.
Will Once Human launch on PS4 and PS5 later?
There's a possibility that Once Human will be released on PS4 and PS5. While the PlayStation 4 is older, it still has enough power to deliver a 30 FPS gameplay experience. Whether the studio chooses to launch it on the PS4 remains unknown. However, the PS5 is the latest and most powerful PlayStation yet, so there's no doubt about its capabilities.
The PlayStation 4 has sold over 117 million units in its lifetime, while the PlayStation 5 has sold close to 60 million as of writing. Thus, Starry Studio cannot afford to miss out on such a huge market.
The developers even posted on X that they are evaluating the possibility of a console release, but it depends on Once Human's testing and possible player feedback. It will probably take some time, so one shouldn't expect the game to launch on consoles anytime soon.
