When Can You Play Path of Exile 2? – Answered

When does Path of Exile 2 come out? I’ve had this question on my mind for months now, and I’ve likely annoyed my wife with the same question every other week, so now I’m looking into the matter for everyone with the same inquiry. I want to play Path of Exile 2!

When is Path of Exile 2 Coming Out?

Following multiple delays and an ever-growing crowd of eager fans who want more from the studio, Path of Exile 2 is officially launching on December 6. As of right now, you can pre-order three different editions of the game on Steam: Early Access Supporter Pack, Lord of Ogham Supporter Pack, and King of the Faridun Supporter Pack. These pre-purchase packs range in price from $29.99 to $99.99, with more expensive versions available on the developer’s website directly.

For now, check out the new trailer:

Is Path of Exile 2 Free to Play?

Like the original from Grinding Gear Games, the sequel is free to play. You won’t have to pay a dime to download and play through the entire experience. That said, it’s unclear whether you must pay for a backer’s pack to gain access to the closed beta. I imagine that’s how it’ll turn out, and countless fans will happily pay.

I’m one of them, but that’s primarily for work purposes. Either way, I hope to see many of you duking it out with the new bosses!


Now that we have an official release date for the Path of Exile 2 Early Access, it’s time to start prepping your characters and builds. But first, learn more about using Path of Exile skins in the sequel!
