What platforms is New World Aeternum releasing on?

New World: Aeternum will be available on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. If you already own the base game for New World, you must own the Rise of the Angry Earth expansion before the release of New World: Aeternum to get this update for free on Oct. 15.

On the other hand, if you don’t own the base game and want to play this remix, you can simply preorder New World: Aeternum on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, which is much less confusing.

The Aeternum update includes:

  • First-ever large-scale PvP zone.
  • A 10-player raid.
  • New end-game solo trials.
  • Co-op modes.
  • Competitive arenas.
