Part of the Amazon Games catalog, New World: Aeternum makes its PlayStation debut this September.

Although the game will not be fully released until October, in the meantime players can explore the world of this role-playing game thanks to the open beta.

From 13 September to 16 September New World: Aeternum allows you to play the opening section until you reach level 30.

It’s a generous offer that will keep you busy.

The open beta is available in Europe, Asia Pacific, and the US and allows crossplay between PC and Xbox.

In addition, there are also various rewards for open beta participants that will be available when the game launches.

However, to our knowledge, your game progress will not be transferred.

To get a head start, so to speak, you can pre-download the open beta starting September 11th.

However, we still have a few weeks until September arrives…

Luckily, PlayStation has just released 1,000 hours of free games as part of the biggest price cut we’ve ever seen.

As if that wasn’t exciting enough, the first free game for September’s PS Plus lineup was revealed, promising an unforgettable experience.

There’s a lot to see, play and do on your PlayStation 5 in the coming months – be prepared.
