This information comes from the New World Twitter account, which was understandably very active during the game’s launch. When asked if the game would be coming to consoles, the developer responded pretty plainly: “New World will be playable only on PC for the foreseeable future.”
It’s important to note that this is not an outright denial. “Only on PC for the foreseeable future” doesn’t mean “it’s never coming to consoles,” but it does mean we shouldn’t expect to hear about console ports for some time, if ever. PlayStation and Xbox gamers will have to make do with other games for now.
Launch day was a busy one for the New World Twitter account, and not for usual reasons: the game was plagued with server issues and long queues, causing eager players to wait several hours to get into the game.
