Amazon’s new MMO, New World, has reportedly lost more than half its playerbase just a month after its launch on PC.
Despite hitting an impressive all-time concurrent peak of just shy of a million players on 3rd October, Forbes spotted that the numbers on SteamCharts have taken something of a dip, with its concurrent rate falling around 135,000 players every week since launch.

As of last week, the MMO sported a concurrent player count of 508,000 – roughly half of what it was at the start of the month.
Of course, declining player numbers are not always a surprise – or a concern – in the first few weeks after launch, but New World is a MMO, which should, in theory, enjoy a more stable playerbase than singleplayer narrative games that some may only play for a week or two before completing and moving onto something else.
