New World is already popular. Extremely popular. It is currently the biggest game on Steam by number of concurrent players, and the fifth biggest game in Steam history by that same metric. But not all of these New World players are actually playing, because the servers are struggling to keep up, and a lot of people are just waiting in the queues.

Amazon “continues to build additional servers and will expand the capacity of our existing servers once we have properly tested these changes.” In the meantime, the developers are encouraging players trying to connect to more crowded worlds to consider trying an alternative, and are offering free server transfers once the initial rush has subsided.

The developers say a server transfer opportunity is coming “within the next two weeks.” In some follow-ups on Twitter, the developers specify that you will be able to switch to any available server once the transfer option is available, and you can even change region If you need.

Steam reviews for New World are currently only 42% positive. As you might expect, most complaints are about server issues.
