If you're eagerly awaiting the Early Access release of Path of Exile 2 (PoE2), you'll be happy to know that the game will be available on multiple platforms when it launches. Whether you prefer playing on PC, PlayStation 5, or Xbox Series X|S, you'll have options to dive into this expansive action RPG (ARPG). Here's everything you need to know about where and how you can play PoE2 during its early access phase.

PoE2 Early Access Platforms

On Early Access release day, you'll be able to play Path of Exile 2 on the following platforms:

PC (via Steam and Epic Games Store)

PlayStation 5

Xbox Series X|S

These platforms will allow players to experience the game early and explore its features, mechanics, and content. PC players have the added benefit of being able to buy the game from both Steam and Epic Games Store, while PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S users will also be able to play, marking a significant expansion for the Path of Exile franchise to consoles.

Supporter Packs for Early Access

To access Path of Exile 2 Early Access, players will need to purchase a supporter pack. These packs come in several tiers, with each one offering various in-game goodies and exclusive content. The supporter packs available are:

Path of Exile 2 Early Access Supporter Pack - $30

Lord of Ogham Supporter Pack - $60

King of the Faridun Supporter Pack - $100

Thamaturge of the Vaal Supporter Pack - $150

Warlord of the Karui Supporter Pack - $220

Liberator of Wraeclast Supporter Pack - $370

Each pack comes with a key to access the Early Access version of the game, so you can jump into PoE 2 right away. The price varies depending on the pack, offering different amounts of in-game content, cosmetics, and bonuses. Whether you're looking for basic access at $30 or want to support the game on a deeper level with the $370 Liberator of Wraeclast pack, there's a tier to suit most budgets.

Free-to-Play for Full Launch

While Early Access for Path of Exile 2 is a paid experience, the full 1.0 launch of the game will be free-to-play. Just like the first Path of Exile, the full release will be available to anyone who wishes to download and enjoy the game. However, to experience the game early, players must purchase one of the supporter packs for access during the Early Access period.

For players who enjoy the grind-heavy ARPG experience, the $30 entry fee is relatively modest, especially considering how many hours Path of Exile fans have invested in the game over the years.

Conclusion

If you're ready to explore the world of Path of Exile 2 before its official launch, Early Access is your chance to get a head start. Whether you're playing on PC, PlayStation 5, or Xbox Series X|S, you'll be able to immerse yourself in the new content, mechanics, and classes that PoE2 offers. Remember, access to Early Access requires purchasing one of the supporter packs, so choose the one that fits your budget and playstyle.

During this time, you can experience the game before the general public, allowing you to get ahead in terms of progress, learn about the new mechanics, and even start building up your PoE Currency and PoE items—which will carry over into the full release once it becomes free-to-play. So, if you're looking to dive deep into the game early, now's the time to support and secure your place in Path of Exile 2's exciting new chapter!
