When does Early Access start on all platforms?
*Path of Exile 2 will launch in Early Access at 11am December 6th PST which is Dec 06, 2024 8:00 PM (GMT+1) in your local time on all supported platforms, including a standalone PC client, Steam and Epic Games Store clients as well as Xbox Series and PlayStation 5.
Unfortunately Path of Exile 2 will not be available on MacOS at the start of Early Access, but we’re keen to add support for this platform as soon as possible.*
When will I be able to download the client?
*We’ll be making the standalone PC client available for download at 5pm on Thursday, December 5th (PST).
Xbox - pre-download is already available. There will likely be updates on launch.
PlayStation - Founder's packs should go live 24 hours before Early Access starts. Purchasing one of these packs should allow for pre-download on PS5.
We're still looking into making pre-download available for other platforms and will update this post when they become available.*
What content is included?
Even in Early Access, Path of Exile 2 is a big game. It includes a significant campaign of Three Acts as well as a rich endgame. At the start of Early Access there will be 50 bosses, and around 400 monster types. We’ll be adding content to roughly double the size of the game during Early Access and into Release.
How long is Early Access likely to run for?
As long as needed, we expect at least 6 months. @Miro
Is couch co-op available in Early Access?
Yes, you can play Path of Exile 2 in couch co-op mode on a single account right from the start. The second player will be able to create a character on that account.
Will there be wipes during Early Access?
No, there will not be a wipe. We will do new leagues but none of your characters will be wiped, they will just go to a league called Early Access (so they will never be in Standard). In some cases characters in old leagues might be somewhat broken by balance changes though. After launch the "Early Access" characters will still exist.
How will my stash tabs from Path of Exile 1 work in Path of Exile 2?
*Stash tab purchases made in Path of Exile 1 will be available in Path of Exile 2, where relevant. For example, a special league-related stash tab might not be available in Path of Exile 2 as that content does not exist there.
We will be updating applicable stash tabs in Path of Exile 2, and stash tabs like the currency stash tab will hold different items to what it holds in Path of Exile 1.
Stash tabs become remove-only when logged into a different platform where you don't own them.*
