PoE 2 Release Date, and How to Get Early Access

Path of Exile 2's Early Access will release on November 15h, 2024.

There is currently no information on a full release for the game.

Originally, the plan was to launch a beta, but the wording used is now “Early Access.” It’s likely that the game is not near completion, and as such, Early Access will be a way to play what is currently finished.

From what’s been circulating, Early Access appears to be releasing with only some of the classes and might not finish the campaign. It’s unclear whether Early Access will contain any form of endgame like mapping.

It has been confirmed that access to PoE 2’s Early Access will very closely mirror the beta they have done in the past. You can read details on PoE’s previous 3.0.0 update in their FaQ.

If you don’t want to read through, here’s a summary of what they plan to do for the beta.

• New Supporter packs will be available upon release of the beta. All tiers will grant access/key.

• Any player that has purchased a top tier supporter pack in the past will get a key.

• If a player has made lifetime purchases amounting to over $500 (approx), they will get a key.

• Every day, a random group of players (500-1000ish) will get a key.

It’s possible that the PoE 2 EA won’t follow these bullets precisely, but it likely will be close. You’ll be able to pay for access through supporter packs or may already be eligible based on your past purchases.

If you aren’t able to spend money to gain access, you can always simply wait for a random invite. There may be more ways to gain access through things like Twitch drops or giveaways, but that has yet to be revealed.
