    Path of Exile 2 Early Access Launch Date and Details

    Path of Exile 2 will enter Early Access on December 6, 2024.

    Some interesting news:

    Full Release Date
    Details on a full release date remain unannounced.

    Shift from Beta to Early Access
    Originally planned as a beta release, the terminology has shifted to "Early Access", suggesting the game is still in development. Early Access will provide players with the opportunity to experience the portions of the game that are ready, while ongoing development continues.

    What to Expect in Early Access
    Early Access is expected to launch with limited content, likely including only select classes and possibly an incomplete campaign. It’s uncertain if it will feature any endgame systems, such as mapping.

    How to Access Path of Exile 2’s Early Access
    Path of Exile 2’s Early Access entry will resemble the game’s previous beta access approaches. Here's a breakdown of how access might work:

    • New Supporter Packs: Available when Early Access launches, with all tiers granting access.
    • Previous Purchases: Players who have previously purchased a top-tier supporter pack are eligible for a key.
    • Lifetime Purchases: Players with lifetime purchases totaling over approximately $500 will receive a key.
    • Random Invites: A random selection of players, possibly around 500-1,000 daily, will receive keys.


    While the specifics for Path of Exile 2's Early Access may differ slightly, these guidelines offer a close estimate. Access will likely be available through new supporter packs or prior purchases.

    Alternative Access Methods
    For those who prefer not to purchase access, there may be random invite opportunities. Additionally, methods like Twitch drops or giveaways could be introduced, though these options haven’t been confirmed.

      I've been playing Path of Exile since the early days, and it's been amazing to watch the game evolve. Now, in February 2025, having spent time in PoE 2 Early Access, I have to say the new mechanics and classes are a refreshing change. Still hoping for more endgame content soon, but so far, the experience has been worth it!
