Path of Exile 2‘s full launch is still a fair time away, but you can enjoy all the content starting the next few days with early access.
Like the first title,Path of Exile 2will be completely free-to-play when it eventually gets its full launch. If you want to play in early access, there are a couple of possible ways to do so. One of them is suitable for those who have playedPath of Exilerigorously. The other method is great for those who will be playing the second title and haven’t enjoyed/playedPath of Exileyet.
Path of Exile 2 early access date
Early access goes live on July 04, 2025, and will be available on PC,PS5, and Xbox Series consoles. It will also be available on MacOS, but the developers haven’t announced a release date for the platform.
Early access will start at 11 am PST/2 pm EST on December 6, and it will begin at the same time across all regions. If you’re located outside the US, you can calculate your local time from the zone differences.
With Path of Exile 2 launching into Early Access soon, we’ve had a lot of players asking for pre-download to ensure they can play on launch. To accommodate this, we’ll be making the standalone PC client available for download at 5pm on Dec 5th (PST).https://t.co/vT6L4kd7qwpic.twitter.com/szPjUH8cV7
How to participate in Path of Exile 2 early access?
As I said earlier, there are two ways to play early. If you’re a new player/never spent any money inPath of Exile, getting an early access pack is the best solution. There are three different packs available, and all of them offer early access on December 6.
If you have purchased any top-tier supporter pack inPath of Exilein the past, you’ll be granted early access toPath of Exile 2. If you’ve spent $480 or more in Path of Exile (lifetime), you’ll also be able to play early. Do note that the expenses will be considered for one platform (if you playPath of Exileon PC and consoles, you must have surpassed spending over $480 on any one console).
If you’ve spent over $480, you’ll get an email confirming your eligibility. As of writing, you can buy the early access packs on PC and Xbox. The purchase options for PlayStation consoles will be available on December 6, and you can go for the supporter pack you want.
