However, players have been facing lengthy server queues and other issues due to swarms of players logging in. The good thing is Amazon has been taking steps to solve these issues, and the developers have multiplied the number of servers for New World since the game was launched.

In a tweet, the studio stated that its teams have been working around the clock and setting up more servers to enhance the online experience. The company even said, “…and [we] will continue to do so until we stability wait times.“

If you are a new player logging into New World for the first time, you can select a server that has low or no wait times. Currently, New World is only available for PC. But seeing the game’s popularity, we might see it getting ported to other platforms soon.

You can join groups of up to five members or join one of three factions (Marauders, Syndicate, or Covenant), explore the map, fight other players or monsters. These are just a few things that the game has to offer.

You can try out the game by visiting the Steam store and purchasing the game for $39.99.
