New World, the new MMO game from Amazon, has finally launched, and has rocketed towards the top of Steaꩵm.

After some early tests and more🐭 than a year after it was originally due to launch, New World is now live on Steam, and seems to be off to a flying start. At time of writing, states that mo♑re than 648,00🌌0 players are currently logged into the game. That makes New World the second most-played game on the platform right now, ahead of top-three stalwart Dota 2 and within sight of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive - both of which are free-to-play games. It also makes New World the fifth most-played Steam game of all time according to , behind PUBG and Cyberpunk 2077, and ahead of Valheim.

- or slightly less than ten whole days.

While New World is undeniably off to a decent start, there's certainly a long way to go before its launch can be declared a total success. Server issues hav♑e the potential to pop up at any moment, and with the health of an MMO traditionally measured in months or even ye🔴ars rather than hours and days, it'll be interesting to see how Amazon's effort holds out.
