Once Human Developer to Replace Lookalike Cosmetic After No Man’s Sky Comparison

Starry Studio says it will review internal creative policies after community reports highlighted the similarity.

Overview

  • Players on Reddit pointed out that an exercise bike cosmetic in Once Human resembles No Man’s Sky’s Base Teleport Module.
  • Hello Games founder Sean Murray responded on X with a joking note about missing LOD rivets and shared a development screenshot showing high‑poly details.
  • Starry Studio told PCGamesN it will remove and replace the disputed item and conduct an internal review to strengthen its policies.
  • The contested cosmetic appeared as a top‑tier reward in a premium loot crate, which fueled criticism over monetization practices.
  • Outlets report design differences alongside strong similarities, no legal action has been indicated, and Once Human has faced earlier imitation complaints.
