The W<jats:sup><jats:italic>−</jats:italic></jats:sup> and W<jats:sup>+</jats:sup> production cross sections, lepton-charge asymmetry, and nuclear modification factors are evaluated as a function of the muon rapidity. In order to study the production as a function of the p–Pb collision centrality, the production cross sections of the W<jats:sup><jats:italic>−</jats:italic></jats:sup> and W<jats:sup>+</jats:sup> bosons are combined and normalised to the average number of binary nucleon–nucleon collision 〈<jats:italic>N</jats:italic><jats:sub>coll</jats:sub>〉. In Pb–Pb collisions, the same measurements are presented as a function of the collision centrality. Study of the binary scaling of the W<jats:sup><jats:italic>±</jats:italic></jats:sup>-boson cross sections in p–Pb and Pb–Pb collisions is also reported. The results are compared with perturbative QCD calculations, with and without nuclear modifications of the Parton Distribution Functions (PDFs), as well as with available data at the LHC. Significant deviations from the theory expectations are found in the two collision systems, indicating that the measurements can provide additional constraints for the determination of nuclear PDFs and in particular of the light-quark distributions.</jats:p>
