New World is one of Amazon Games' most successful titles and received high praise from the community upon its launch. However, surprisingly, just a few months after its release, the player base experienced a significant drop, losing over 85% of its players. The last major peak was recorded in October 2023, when the player count crossed 75,000 in a single day.
