Path of Exile 2 Console Versions Getting Simultaneous Early Access

Developer and publisher Grinding Gear Games revealed that its free-to-play action RPG Path of Exile 2‘s PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions will receive simultaneous Early Access releases alongside its PC and Mac versions. All versions of the game will support cross-play and cross-progression. In addition, all versions of the game will feature couch co-op mode, allowing players to play collaboratively with others on a single account or log in with two separate accounts on the same PC or console.

Path of Exile 2 will be completely separate from Path of Exile, though all cosmetic purchases made on either game will be shared between them. The game will feature a brand new six-act main storyline, said to include 100 distinct environments, 600 monsters, and 100 bosses as well as twelve starting character classes — two classes for each possible combination of Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence — though players will be able to freely adjust their character build and utilise skills from other classes. The game’s Early Access release is planned for later in 2024.
