New World, launched by Amazon Game Studios in September 2021, saw a massive player base at launch but has since experienced typical post-launch decline. As an MMORPG with ongoing updates and a moderate community, it is likely to have around 30,000–40,000 daily active players as of 2024—primarily based on Steam charts and genre performance trends.
