As an avid Once Human player who’s been counting down the days until I could finally dive into the console version, opening my inbox this morning felt like Christmas came early. Yep, you guessed it — the Console Closed Beta is officially live, and the dev team isn’t just tossing keys at us and calling it a day. They’ve launched the Console Open Beta Feedback Event, and trust me, this is one opportunity you don’t want to sleep on. Whether you’ve been roaming the corrupted lands since day one on PC or you’re brand new to the Meta family, now’s your chance to shape the console experience while pocketing some sweet, sweet loot.

First things first: the nitty-gritty. The event runs from June 17 to July 8 (PT). That’s three whole weeks to jump into the beta, kick the tires, and let the devs know what’s working — and what’s going sideways. The whole thing is built right into the game. Just head over to the in-game Feedback Event page (yeah, no messy external forms to wrestle with), and you can submit bug reports or fire off suggestions for improvements. Every single piece of valid feedback gets reviewed individually by the development team, and if they deem it legit, you earn Points. These Points aren’t just for show, either. At the end of the event, they’ll tally up your total from valid bug reports and valid suggestions combined, and you’ll get tiered rewards based on your ranking. It doesn’t matter if you’re a casual weekend warrior or a hardcore min-maxer — if you contribute something useful, you’re already walking away with a Participation Reward. Talk about a no-brainer.

Now, let’s get down to the brass tacks of what’s up for grabs. Here’s a quick rundown of the reward structure they’ve laid out for us:

  • 🎁 Participation Reward: Every player who submits at least one piece of valid feedback gets this, no questions asked. Details haven’t been spelled out yet, but historically, Once Human has been pretty generous with cosmetics, Starchrom, or consumables. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for a stylish outfit or a funky weapon skin.

  • 🏆 Top 10 Players Bonus: This is where things get spicy. The top 10 point-scorers across the entire event will each snag a Battle Pass: Luxurious Edition Voucher. If you’ve had your eye on that premium pass but have been holding your wallet, this is your golden ticket. One voucher, and you’re in for the full luxury treatment — more rewards, more cosmetics, more bragging rights.

  • 📊 Tiered Ranking Rewards: Everyone else falls into placement tiers based on their total Points. The team has confirmed that rewards are distributed in tiers, and if there’s a tie, players with identical scores share the same tier — no one gets unfairly bumped down. The top dogs aren’t the only ones feasting; even mid-tier participants can expect a nice haul.

The folks at Starry Studio are keeping things fair and square. Each account can only claim event rewards once, so if you’ve got a couple of alts running around, only one character per account will show up on the final winner list. That’s a smart move to keep the playing field level. After the event wraps on July 8, the ranking list will be announced within seven business days, so you won’t be left hanging forever. Once the dust settles, each Meta will receive an in-game mail on their official server character detailing their total Points and the exact rewards they’ve earned.

I’ve already dipped my toes into the beta, and I’ve got to say — playing Once Human on a big screen with a controller feels like a whole new ball game. The movement is tighter, the atmosphere is even more immersive, and my living room is now officially ground zero for eerie exploration. But, like any beta, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. I’ve already spotted a couple of minor UI hiccups and one funny bug where my character’s hair decided to clip through a gas mask. Into the feedback form it goes! That’s exactly the kind of thing the devs want to know about. The more detailed you are — screenshots, video clips, step-by-step reproduction steps — the better your chances of snagging more Points. They’re not just looking for complaints, either. If you’ve got a bright idea for a quality-of-life tweak or a controller layout suggestion, the suggestion box is wide open.

For anyone sitting on the fence, let me spell it out: there’s literally zero downside to joining this shindig. You’re playing a free beta of a game you probably already love (or are about to love), and you can win tangible in-game goodies just by speaking your mind. The devs have shown over and over that they actually listen — the PC version has had some solid community-driven changes — and this console feedback loop is their way of doing the same for PlayStation and Xbox players. It’s a win-win situation. The ball’s in your court, Metas.

Looking ahead, I’m genuinely pumped. Once Human has been building a dedicated community, and bringing consoles into the fold feels like the final puzzle piece clicking into place. With events like this, the game isn’t just launching; it’s evolving hand-in-hand with the people who play it. So, fire up your console, dive back into the twisted world, and tell the team exactly what you think. Every bug squashed now means a smoother ride when the full release hits. And hey, if I manage to claw my way into that Top 10 and score that Luxurious Voucher, maybe I’ll see you on the battlefield — try not to be too jealous of my shiny new gear. Until then, happy hunting, and may your Points pile up high!
