(The "fan pack" edition).
The standard CD release of The World is Yours was released worldwide several weeks later on January 17, 2011, through Motorhead's own label, Motorhead Music and distributed by EMI Label Services. The album would subsequently be released in North America on February 8th, 2011.
Two special editions of the album were also announced. The first featured the album bundled with a bonus live DVD with a performance from the 2006 Wacken Open Air Festival in Germany, and an exclusive T-shirt. The second version featured those contents along with a signed copy on silver vinyl.

The band embarked on a world tour to promote the album. Including dates starting in the U.K. on February 8th, 2010, a 27 date headlining tour of North America from January to March 2011, and a 4 date Australian tour at the end of March.
In addition, a single "Get Back in Line" was released to promote the album.
As part of the effort to promote the album in the U.S., the band made appearances on Conan O'Brian's late night talk show, "Conan" and the NBC Late Night Show: "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" playing "Get Back in Line" at both appearances.
The albums receive mainly positive reviews, with most reviewers citing the album as very similar to Motorhead's past works due to the band essentially following the same formula. (Don't fix it if it ain't broken!) Eduardo Rivedavia of Allmusic reviewed the album positively and commented that it may be remembered as Motorhead's "ultimate Rock & Roll album." Rivadavia cited I Know How to Die and Outlaw as the best tracks from the album.
Express.co.uk summed up the album as being "every bit as noisey and scary as anything they've produced in their 35 year career." Dom Lawson of Classic Rock considers The World is Yours "one of the finest of the lot" of 20 albums the band's produced praising the production skills of Cameron Webb and the band in "supreme form (...) as they blaze through some of their strongest materials in years."
On the other hand, Alexis Petridis of Guardian.co.uk said that those that purchase the album will not do so "in the hope of being surprised or baffled."
