#STEAM CHARTS BLACKWAKE UPDATE#
New World update 1.5.6 is here with a host of quality-of-life fixes. Considering there's no subscription fee or similar we will most likely be getting the content either via big new expansions or smaller DLCs, or perhaps there's a third option Amazon Games might go for? It will be very interesting to see what the new content rollout will be for New World and how it will affect the player numbers, as it's unclear what type of content will be arriving and in what way. There have been (and still are) many bugs plaguing the game since then, with gold duping, PvP invulnerability exploits, the trading post not paying out gold, and a lot more, which certainly hasn't helped with player retention, but the game's review score is still on the rise as it is now sitting at 74% positive (of the over 146,000 reviews), up from 70 since the last time we checked over a month ago:Īnd so as Amazon Games keep clearing out the bugs and issues with the game pretty regularly (with 5 big bugfixing patches since launch), the population is stabilizing in numbers and the review score is going up. The fall in players is to be expected, as the hype was very big at launch and we haven't seen a major new MMO launch in quite some time, and so a number of players were always going to leave after the initial shine wore off.
Note: the concurrent players stat below is just a snapshot when the screenshot was taken, but the game has almost permanently been in the No.3 slot in the past month. Only beaten out by CS: GO and Dota 2, so far the game has cemented itself as a Steam giant, despite the dropping player numbers since launch. Since then we got to see an actual month pass and get the real numbers of played hours, and New World is still in the top 3 of all Steam games, both in terms of concurrent players and total time played - and by a very solid margin in both those categories. It's time to check in on New World's situation after it's been out for just under a month and a half, as its player numbers have declined, but its review score keeps rising!įirst we're checking in on the game's population, as the last time we looked at the Steam Charts data, it was still only a week or so old and at its peak with 913,000 concurrent players.
