Everyone has a fighting chance
New World has been trucking along since its closed beta hit Steam back on July 20th. Within a week the MMO has already seen over 200K players jump in at the same time, breaking that threshold on Sunday. This bodes pretty well for Amazon’s MMO, and signals that this could end up being the studios’ first successful game.
New World’s closed beta has been in full swing since July 20th, and tens of thousands of players have landed in Aeternum waging war, skinning turkeys and more. One aspect of New World that has been frustrating though, more than others at least to Bradford, are the quests you can undertake in Amazon’s MMO.
We recently had the chance to chat with Amazon Game’s Mike Willette, the head of world experience on New World, all about dungeons in the upcoming MMO.
Earlier today we reported on a player reports that New World was potentially bricking high end Nvidia GPUs. While the issue seems more hardware-based than the game itself, Amazon did take to their forums to detail some steps players could take in order to ensure that their GPUs would remain unaffected. Now the team is assuring players in a statement on Twitter that it is entirely safe to play New World’s beta.
New World’s closed beta launched yesterday, seeing almost 200K players descend on Aeternum at the onset. However, for some in the MMOs player base, it hasn’t been all rosy, as reports have trickled in via Reddit that RTX 3090 owners, specifically EVGA 3090 users, have seen the MMO brick their GPUs.

To say people have been excited for New World has been an understatement as the MMO officially hit its long-awaited closed beta today. As a result, thousands upon thousands of players descended upon the MMO, with SteamDB showing nearly 200K people jumping into Aeternum as the floodgates opened this morning.
This past week we had the chance to go hands on with New World’s endgane activities: Outpost Rush and one of the late-game Expeditions, the Lazarus Instrumentality. How do these fare as New World transitions to Closed Beta this week? Read on for our thoughts!
New World’s official launch might be August 31st, but the MMO is gearing up for its closed beta test starting on July 20th that many see as a "soft launch" of sorts. The team at Amazon Game Studios took to their blog to start detailing to testers what to expect on the 20th.
New World is continuing its ramp towards its beta later on this month, this time showing off its PvPvE mode, Outpost Rush. This mode sees teams of 20 go head to head to fight over outposts, seeking to crush your enemies for total victory.
