Your execution is set for December 6, will you fight for your life or let the Executioner take you?
Corruption has returned to Wraeclast, the Count of Ogham, tempted by promises of power, intends to harness it once more. Before you begin on your path to cleanse it once more as a Monk, Ranger, Warrior, Mercenary, Witch or Sorceress, we urge you to peruse this launch guide and let it aid you.
Path of Exile 2’s Early Access will go live on December 6th, at 11 am PST. For a helpful guide to see where it goes live across the world, see our global release map here:
Pre-download is now available on the following platforms:
- Standalone PC client - log in to pathofexile2.com and download at https://pathofexile2.com/download.
- Steam - you should be able to pre-download from your Steam Library now.
- Epic Game Store - you should be able to pre-download from your Epic Game Store Library now.
- Xbox and PlayStation 5 are available now through their respective shops.
We previously mentioned that a torrent would be available for pre-download. This was with the intention that the download would still be available if our patching servers had issues from the potentially immense load. We've instead decided to let our patching servers bear the full brunt of the downloads, as it would be better to catch any issues caused by this now so that we can make our servers more resilient for launch.
Wraeclast is a horrific land, filled with your worst nightmares, and unthinkable danger. But at least you can find a Community Streamer to keep you company during your adventure. Starting December 6th PST, we’ll be running two weeks of Twitch Drops. By watching your favourite streamers experience Path of Exile 2 for the very first time you’ll be able to earn Energising Bolt Flask Effect, Halo of the Righteous Helmet Attachment and Temporal Lord’s Portal Effect! Don't forget to link your Twitch account!
To further support our community streamers, we’ll also be offering the Chimera Pet for purchasing or gifting 2 Twitch subscriptions of any tier. Click here to download stream assets for this promotion.

We've added a forum section on the Path of Exile website specifically for Path of Exile 2 here. If you encounter a bug, have feedback, want to find or post a build guide, or just want to discuss Early Access, there's a dedicated space available. We'll also be communicating about issues live, keep an eye on our forums and X page.
We greatly appreciate community engagement and feedback and we'd love to hear what you think about Early Access! If you encounter an issue and are waiting to hear back from our Support team, please be assured they'll get back to you as soon as possible. This is our biggest release ever, resulting in Support sending ~60,000 emails since Early Access Supporter Packs became available, and they're currently receiving about 50 new emails every 20 minutes. They're doing their best to get on top of things, but in the meantime, thank you for your patience!
Since the announcement of Path of Exile 2 at Exilecon 2019 to launch, Path of Exile 2 has undergone countless changes in an effort to make the best possible Action RPG. It has been a long road to finally reach the launch of Early Access for Path of Exile 2, and we wouldn't be here without the support of our players.
As we all prepare to step onto the shores of Wraeclast, we know there will also be many new Exiles joining us. We're so excited to share the experience with you all, and can't wait to see the community overcome challenging bosses, make powerful or wacky builds, and do things we never might have expected.
From everyone at Grinding Gear Games - thank you!
