How to access PTR in New World

As mentioned above, you must purchase a physical copy of New World to access the PTR. After buying New World on Steam, you will immediately get the PTR version with the base game in the library. Browse your listing and install the New World (Public Test Realm) on your PC. Access and play the application like any other game on Steam.

Remember, New World and New World PTR are two different versions: New World is the base game and is available all the time, while the PTR version is only active and accessible during testing periods (which occur before the addition of any new content, updates, or season). Follow Amazon Studios on their social media platforms to know about future PTR dates.
