Tips to Increase New World Performance
Disable Xbox Game Bar
To increase New World (and other games) performance, disable the Xbox Game Bar. To do so, press Windows Key + i to open Windows settings. Then head to the Gaming settings and then disable Xbox Game Bar and also disable background recording from the Captures menu.
Game Mode
To turn on Window’s game mode, search for Game Mode in the Windows search bar and select the ‘Game Mode’ setting. From there, turn on Game Mode.
Run at High Priority
To run New World as a high priority, head to the task manager while the game is running and then go to the Details tab. Right-click ‘NewWorld.exe’ and set the priority to high.
Run the game on SSD
Some performance can also be gained by installing the game on SSD, as it will load the textures and other game files much quicker as compared to a Hard disk.
Disable Overlays
While running New World, disable the in-game overlays of Steam and other applications such as discord to increase some performance.
