New Worldhas been making waves ever since it was released on September 28th, however, the attention it has been receiving has not all been good. Some gamers have come forward to claim thatNew Worldhas been causing their GPUs to overheat and now famous Twitch streamer Shroud was playing the title when his Universal Power Supply (UPS) exploded and ended his stream prematurely.
Shroud is one of the many streamers who have capitalized on the huge popularity ofNew Worlddespite offering some criticismand had been streaming for six hours when his stream and game came to an abrupt yet brief halt. Viewers were unsure as to why the streamer had gone offline, however, after a few minutes Shroud returned to explain that his UPS had actually exploded which was the cause for the outage.

Shroud did not seem to be exceptionally concerned about the matter stating, “That was f****** crazy. I have never had a UPS explode like that before, that was crazy, that was cool. It scared the s*** out of me but it was cool.” This seemed to catch the friends he was playing with by surprise as they most likely expected him to be more concerned about his hardware. Soon after this, however, the stream came to an end as Shroud’s temporary fix did not seem to last all that long and thus the broadcast was stopped for the night. If anything Shroud should be happy he got into a game at all considering the ridiculous queue timewait to get into aNew Worldserver.
The streamer took to Twitter after his stream went down to explain the situation to his viewers, “Trying to figure out my power issue after the surge last night. May or may not stream tonight…. one things for sure though the grind for new world don’t STOP,” Shroud although slightly critical ofNew Worldseems to be enjoying the title which is something that many people can agree with. The success ofNew Worldhas also madeAmazon Executive Chairman Jeff Bezos exceptionally happy.
New Worldseems to be a successful venture for Jeff Bezos and Amazon Game Studios and hopefully, it will be the start of many more good things to come. The more pressing issue, however, is the fact thatNew Worldis supposedly cooking peoples' GPUsand the fact that people are still buying and playing the game despite that. All in all, we can only hope that Amazon Game Studios will be able to resolve the issue so gamers can grindNew Worldto their heart’s content.
