It’s only been a few hours since New World officially opened its servers across the world and it already has gained a lot of popularity. In fact, according to Steam DB’s latest data, the game has gained massive popularity as there are 416,892 concurrent players with the number continuing to increase with each passing hour.
New World lets players explore a world filled with danger and opportunity as an adventurer shipwrecked on the supernatural island of Aeternum. Players need to make their way across a dangerous world where supernatural powers changed all the rules. The destiny of the players is whatever they make of it.
New World is currently available on PC via Steam. The standard edition of the game costs $40, while the deluxe edition—which includes skins for weapons and armor, as well as additional emotes—costs $50. However, unlike many other MMOs of its kind, once players purchase the game, they won’t need to pay a monthly subscription to keep playing. Once you purchase the game from the Steam store, you’ll be able to access the game in its entirety without any restrictions.
