After three years since its initial launch, Amazon Games has reintroduced its title with substantial updates now branded as New World: Aeternum.
While this rebranding signifies a major overhaul, it’s important to clarify that Aeternum is not a completely new release. Rather, it serves as a significant update aimed at revitalizing the online multiplayer experience, following a period where player retention had been declining rapidly.
If you’re curious about the current player statistics, we’ve compiled the latest details for October 2024 below.
Monthly Player Statistics for New World: Aeternum
Following the update launched on October 15, New World: Aeternum achieved a peak of 54,028 players within a 24-hour timeframe, marking its highest count since October 2023.
As reported by MMO-Population, the average daily player base currently sits at 17.43k, a figure expected to increase as the impact of Aeternum’s release is fully realized.

Is the New World: Eternal No Longer Viable?
At this juncture, it may be premature to assess the long-term implications of Aeternum on player counts in New World. Prior to the update, the daily player figures were fluctuating between 10k and 20k, making claims of the game’s demise somewhat exaggerated.
The real question lies in whether Amazon can sustain profitability, as the enduring success of Aeternum could heavily influence the game’s future in the coming years.
That’s all the information we have about the player population for New World: Aeternum in October 2024. We intend to provide monthly updates to keep you informed on the latest trends.
