New World is seemingly losing about 135,000 players a week
Bet🐎ween Oct 3 and 23, the playerbase seems to have halved

Amazon Games' New Worl✃d has seemingly dropped around half of its one million playerbase since it launched a month ago.
According to , an analysis of the data freely available on suggests the MMO has been losing around 135,000 players a week since it launched at the end of September, at which time it hit an impressive concurrent player peak of 913,027 pl🍰ayers on October 3.&nb😼sp;
By🤡 monitoring player numbers at the same time on every Sunday since New World launched, the number of players simultaneously online has fallen week on week from 913K players to 726K, 608K, and – on October 23 – 508K, which is a lit𝄹tle less than half of the player numbers the game saw at the start of the month.
Player numbers fluctuate all the time, of course, particularly for single-p⭕layer games that might not have much replayability about them. New World, on the other hand, is an MMO, and therefore would likely be expecting to retain players, particꦜularly as it's currently sitting on a "mostly positive" aggregate score from 138,000+ players reviews on Steam.
Maybe it's because of an exploit that was crashing games every time someone sent images – or worse – via its global chat client? Amazon said 🎶the issue꧅ "resulted in unsavory behavior" but stopped short of detailing what that "unsavory behavior" was exactly.
Or it might be because Amazon was recently forced to increase server capacity for every world in a bid to reduce 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:New World queue times. Or it's possible it's because as recently as just a few weeks back, players were once again reporting that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:playing New World was bricking GPUs, although Amazon has firmly refuted the claims.
In case you wondered, no, there are no plans to bring New World to console just yet, as Amazon Games has been cౠlear in i🌠ts messaging that – for now at least – New World will remain a PC exclusive for the foreseeable future.
