Well, it’s finally here. The New World release date has arrived, and servers around the world are beginning to open up. As the New World release time details shared by Amazon Games revealed earlier this week, European servers are now open for Aeternum’s budding adventurers, with US, South American, and Australian worlds following over the course of today. That makes it all the more impressive, then, that New World is already topping 253,000 concurrent players as of this story.
That’s according to SteamDB’s data for the brand-new MMORPG, which indicates that, in the past few minutes, New World saw a peak player count of an eye-watering 253,313 adventurers on Valve’s platform. And that’s climbing all the time as I type, so it’ll very likely be even higher than that when you read this.
With Steam being the place to dive into New World, with it only being available on PC (you can buy New World via Amazon, but that’s for a Steam code), this data gives us a really good picture of just how many people are jumping in overall. Phwoar.
In case you’d like a handy refresher, the New World release times across the world are as follows (via Amazon’s handy graphic on Twitter):
