Will New World come out for consoles like PS4, PS5 and Xbox?

Last minute The world stood up after Putins decision in

New World is currently enjoying renewed popularity thanks to a fresh start. However, it is currently only playable on PC and only via Steam. But what about a version for PS4, PS5, Xbox One or Xbox Series X/S in the future?

Is New World coming to consoles? The developers have not commented on this for a long time. Most recently, in September 2021, it was said that New World would only be playable on PC for the foreseeable future.

However, there was last indication in May 2022 that Amazon is looking for employees to look after live games on platforms such as PlayStation and Xbox. Since Amazon currently mainly operates New World and Lost Ark as service games, it is quite possible that a console version is being worked on.

In any case, we at MeinMMO think it would make sense. Because New World would be an ideal MMORPG for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S thanks to the combat system. However, it is understandable that the focus at the moment was on satisfying the PC gamers.

New World is ideal for consoles and controllers

But the overall package also goes well with consoles:

  • The game world is not as big as in other games and overall the game takes up less memory
  • Short sessions already bring a big advantage
  • The interface already goes well with consoles
  • Incidentally, New World can already be played with the controller. How exactly this works, we reveal here:
