New World already became the most-played Steam game of 2021 during its launch week, passing just over 700,000 concurrent players (the previous record was held by Valheim, with about 500,000). That number has gotten even more impressive: according to Steam’s own stats page, the game hit 913,634 concurrent players at its new peak. That’s more than 200,000 greater than before. Perhaps it will even pass a million concurrents someday — it already had a total of more than one million players on launch day, after all.
