How to sign up for the New World: Aeternum closed beta
The Confidential Console Closed Beta is available to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S players in North America and Europe. The beta begins at 9 AM PT on July 11 and runs until 9 AM PT on July 17. Those who wish to take part can sign up now:
- Go to the New World: Aeternum website and sign in with your Amazon account.
- Choose your platform: PlayStation or Xbox
- Hit the Sign Up Now button
Those who are chosen to take part in the closed beta will be notified via email “in the days leading up to the start of the test.” Preloads will begin at 9 AM PT on July 9. The test is subject to a Non-Disclosure Agreement meaning players won’t be able to stream, post videos or screenshots, or discuss the game outside of the feedback channels.
The beta offers the chance to customize a character, experiment with unique weapons, and explore vast, supernatural zones both in the campaign and end-game. Bear in mind that progress will be wiped before the game’s full release on October 15. Cross-play is available between PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, although PC players will not take part in this beta.

New features will include a large-scale PvP zone, a 10-player raid, and end-game solo trials.
