Path of Exile 2 is a highly anticipated free-to-play action RPG that takes place in a world that follows the original title by several years. Gamers will re-enter the realm of Wraeclast to battle the encroaching corruption, choosing from six distinct character classes, each featuring two unique Ascendancy Classes. Early Access is set to launch later this week, allowing for cooperative gameplay with up to six participants, while also supporting solo play.
Based on the most recent details from the authorized forum, the standalone PC client will become available for download at 5pm PT on December 5, or 1am GMT on December 6. It’s crucial to highlight that throughout the Early Access patching process, players may need to update a few additional files to ensure everything runs smoothly.
After completing the download of the client, players will have to wait until the official Early Access launch, which is scheduled for 11am PT on December 6, or 7pm GMT on the same day. The client can be downloaded from the Path of Exile 2 website, and a torrent option will also be provided at the time of release.
The pre-download feature is currently live for Xbox users, though updates are anticipated upon launch. In regard to PlayStation users, Founder’s packs are set to go live 24 hours prior to the start of Early Access (11am PT on December 5). Purchasing one of these packs will enable you to pre-download the game on PS5.
