How to check New World server status: Are the servers down?

As an online-only game, players join New World servers across the globe to venture into the island of Aeternum. Just like any other MMO, there's bound to be some server downtime, as scheduled maintenance takes place to push out new updates, and New World is no different in this respect. This is why players will need to know if the New World servers are down, and find a reliable way of checking the server status for maintenance. Don't worry, we've got you covered so you can plan your playtime and level up in Aeternum.

Are the New World servers down?

To find out if the New World servers are down or not is actually quite simple. Developer Amazon Games announces server maintenance on social media, for example, on the New World Twitter account. The latest server downtime for the New World Closed Beta is expected to end at roughly 14:00 CEST.
