Is The Real World Still Running? (September 2026)
Yes. On September 13, 2026, The Real World's checkout and app were live and Conquer was on sale at $99 a month. What changed, who runs it and the Tate cases.
Direct answer
Yes. The Real World was still running on September 13, 2026. On that date the official checkout at jointherealworld.com loaded normally, the Conquer plan was on sale at $99 a month or $996 a year, and the web app at app.jointherealworld.com loaded. The Real World is an online learning platform, formerly called Hustlers University, and it is operated by New Era Learning LLC, according to its official About page. Andrew Tate, who founded Hustlers University, and his brother Tristan were arrested in Miami in July 2026 on a UK extradition request, and they remain in custody in the US while fighting extradition. Both deny all allegations, and neither has been convicted of any offence. The legal cases have not changed how the platform is sold: the price, plans and billing seen on September 13 matched the earlier checks on September 10 and 12, 2026. The Vanguard plan was sold out on every check, so Conquer is the plan you can buy.
Since the news about Andrew Tate’s arrest in July 2026, a common question is whether The Real World is still open, and whether it is still safe to pay for. This page answers the product question only: is the platform live, can new members join, and has anything about billing changed. Every answer comes from a dated check of the official site. For whether the membership is worth the money in the first place, see the review of whether The Real World is worth it.

Can you still join The Real World?
Yes. The Conquer plan was on sale on the official checkout on September 13, 2026, at $99 a month, or $996 a year with yearly billing. The Vanguard plan was listed at $499 a month but marked “Sold Out”, as it has been on every check since September 10, 2026.
The price breakdown covers both plans in detail, and the step-by-step joining guide walks through the checkout.
Is The Real World app still available?
Yes. The official support page says: “The Real World runs as a progressive web app, so it installs straight from this website: no App Store, no Play Store, no waiting for approval.” The web app at app.jointherealworld.com loaded on September 13, 2026.
Because the app installs from the official website, a missing listing in an app store does not mean the platform has closed.
Has anything changed with billing?
Not in the checks made for this page. The price of the Conquer plan was the same on September 10, 12 and 13, 2026. The official support page says membership “is billed in USD by Visa, Mastercard, American Express or Discover”.
The subscription renews automatically until you cancel, according to the official subscription policy. The guide to cancelling The Real World explains how cancelling and refunds work.
Who runs The Real World?
The official About page says: “New Era Learning LLC owns and operates the platform, the app and the curriculum.” It says the company is registered in Sharjah Media City, Sharjah, in the United Arab Emirates.
The same page gives the history. Hustlers University was “an online community teaching income skills, founded by Andrew Tate and run on Discord”. In 2022, New Era Learning LLC “acquired the Hustler’s University brand and launched The Real World, a rebuilt platform with its own application and curriculum”.
What is happening with Andrew Tate’s legal cases?
Last updated September 13, 2026. Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan were arrested in Miami on July 18, 2026, on a UK extradition request, and on September 9, 2026, US Magistrate Judge Lauren Louis denied their request to be released, so they remain in custody during the extradition proceedings (ABC7, September 9, 2026). Separately, Romanian prosecutors filed a new indictment against them on September 4, 2026; their lawyer told Al Jazeera, “Our clients continue to reject the allegations against them” (Al Jazeera, September 4, 2026). Both deny all allegations, and neither has been convicted of any offence. This page does not comment on the cases.
When this doesn’t apply
- Status can change quickly. Every result here comes from checks on the dates shown. Check the official checkout on the day you join.
- The member figure is The Real World’s own. “155,000+ members” is the checkout’s claim and can’t be checked independently.
- Refunds are limited. The official subscription policy says fees are generally non-refundable once a subscription period has started, except where local law requires otherwise. Read it before you pay.
- No earnings guarantee. The Real World does not guarantee profits or financial success. Results depend on how much each student applies what is taught.
- Not every site is official. Many sites use The Real World or Hustlers University name. Pay only on jointherealworld.com. This site is independent and is not operated by The Real World.
What to do next
If you have decided to join, see the current plans on the plan page. From there you go to The Real World’s official checkout to pay.
