Check the current game event status here. Alternatively, you can easily check that status from your app itself, using our API.

location note

* Following the removal of coordinates from New World, apps must not show precise coordinates, and use a rounded number instead (up to 25 coordinates). Coordinates obtained using the Overwolf Game Events API come pre-adjusted for this policy.

Data Example:

{"info":{"game_info":{"location":"{"player.position.x,9366.38,player.position.y,2762.52,player.position.z,89.21,player.rotation.x,0,player.rotation.y,0,player.rotation.z,223,player.compass,SW"}"}},"feature":"game_info"}

Data Example:

{"info":{"game_info":{"map":"NewWorld_VitaeEterna"}"}},"feature":"game_info"}

player_name note

Data Example:

{"info":{"game_info":{"player_name":"Shargaas7"}"}},"feature":"game_info"}
