How to access the New World beta on July 20

There are two essential methods of joining the New World beta when it releases on July 20, 2021. Most players will likely be looking for a free method so that they can test the game out before investing, and there is one way to attempt to gain free access.

Players can head to the New World website where they will find a section for testers. An option to sign up as a beta tester will be available for anyone to fill out, provided they sign up with Amazon. There is a catch though, and it's that only some of these players will be invited through the sign up. It will be free, but testers who sign up are not guaranteed access during the beta period.

For players that are looking for a guaranteed method, there's one available, but it's going to cost some money to get in. Any player who pre-orders New World will have access to the beta on July 20. Both editions of the game will give players access to the beta. With the Amazon edition, players may need to wait a day or two to receive access, and the Steam version of the game will grant instant access.
