Tonight, Once Human finally launches its much-awaited cross-play-compatible mobile version of the free-to-play sci-fi survival shooter MMO, and those hoping to hop in on the go can already download the client.

Pre-downloads have already started as of 4:00 p.m. PDT last night. If you pre-registered for the game via any app store, specifically for Apple’s App Store or Android’s Google Play, and if you’ve given the store permissions and have enough space (25-30 GB), the game should already be downloaded onto your device. The power of modern technology!

Once you’ve pre-downloaded the game, you can start creating a character by clicking “Enter Game.” Appearance adjustment ended today at 10:00 a.m. PDT, but the game did let you toy around with it for a bit.

Once Human will open the gates to mobile players tonight at 5:00 p.m. PDT (8:00 p.m. PDT), and immediately, cross-play between these mobile players and their PC counterparts will be available. All details about tonight's launch are available on the official site's blog.
