The countdown is on—Path of Exile 2’s early access begins on 6th December 2024! If you’re as excited as I am to jump into this incredible sequel, here’s everything you need to know to secure your spot.
Early Access: What’s Included?
Early access offers a sneak peek into the game, allowing players to experience three full campaign acts. With over 50 epic bosses to conquer, around 400 unique monsters, and an expansive endgame system to sink your teeth into, it’s an incredible way to explore the new features before the game’s official launch.
Even better, there’s no NDA, so you’re free to stream, share your highlights, and discuss your strategies as much as you like!
Supporter Packs: What Are the Options?
Six supporter packs are available for fans, offering different levels of rewards and access perks:
- $30 (£25):
Perfect if you just want early access! This pack includes 300 points (used for in-game purchases) and a key to join the beta. - $60 (£50):
Includes everything from the $30 pack, plus extra in-game cosmetics, like armour effects or hideout decorations. - $100 (£85):

Already a Veteran of Path of Exile?
Here’s some good news: if you’ve spent over $480 on a single platform in Path of Exile 1 or previously purchased the top-tier supporter pack, you’ll automatically qualify for early access—no additional purchase necessary.
Why Join Early Access?
With an estimated runtime of at least six months, early access gives you a head start on exploring the new systems, fine-tuning your builds, and enjoying the thrill of this highly anticipated sequel before its global release. Whether you’re a solo adventurer or planning to team up with friends, Path of Exile 2 promises an unforgettable experience.
