In short, if you're wondering if New World has or is a subscription service, the answer is no. New World is a pay-only game, so you will only need to pay once to play the game.
At the time of writing, there are two versions of the game, and the first is the standard which costs $39,99, the deluxe which costs $49,99,
You can pre-order both versions now and access the ongoing beta which starts tomorrow and runs until August 2. By pre-ordering the game you will also get the following depending on the version you order.
All New World pre-order bonuses
If you pre-order the standard version of the game, you will earn the following items.

That said, you can find both versions on the game's official website, and once you've pre-ordered you should be able to download the game via an invite in the form of an email.
This email will contain a beta code, and activating it on Steam will allow you to download the beta. Alternatively, you can also pre-order the game through Steam and the beta should appear in your account either the day the beta launches or 48 hours after.
