How to Add Friends in Once Human
Complete the Tutorial
Before you can add friends in Once Human, you need to complete the game’s tutorial. This process takes around 15 minutes and introduces you to the game’s basic mechanics and controls.
Choose the Same Server
To play with friends, you must all be on the same server. This is crucial because characters and progress are server-specific. Communicate with your friends beforehand to ensure everyone selects the same server. If you need to switch servers later, you will have to create a new character and start from scratch.

| Find Your Friend’s Username or UID | You can add friends by their username or Unique Identifier (UID). Ensure you type the name exactly as it appears, including case sensitivity. |
| Add Friend | Enter your friend’s username or UID in the search bar and click on their profile. Then, select “Add Friend”. Your friend will need to accept the friend request. |
