Path of Exile 2 Early Access release date and Supporter Packs

Looking for the Path of Exile 2 release date? Path of Exile 2 is out soon and promises to bring lots of ARPG action to all fans of the first game, plus a truly extensive array of character builds for anyone who's dreamt of hacking and slashing their way through copious legions of foes.

Path of Exile 2's launch is an Early Access one that's only accessible if you order a Supporter Pack, however, and the game will only launch with a portion of its classes and half of its campaign. If you're wondering exactly what you'll get if you pre-order the game, then read on, for in this guide we'll break down Path of Exile 2's release date and what you can expect in each Supporter Pack.

When is Path of Exile 2's Early Access release date?

Path of Exile 2's Early Access begins on December 6, 2024. The full version of the game is expected to release at an unspecified date in 2025. While the eventual full release of Path of Exile 2 will be free-to-play, the Early Access is not, and can only be played by purchasing a Supporter Pack.

The Early Access version of the game contains Acts 1-3 of the campaign and the following six character classes: Mercenary, Monk, Ranger, Sorceress, Warrior, and Witch. Currently, six acts and twelve classes are planned for the final game.

What are Path of Exile 2's Supporter Packs?

Path of Exile 2's Supporter Packs are the only way to unlock the Early Access build. Three of these packs can currently be purchased from both Steam and the Path of Exile 2 website, while three are exclusive to the website.

Each pack contains a combination of in-game items that can be used immediately in Path of Exile 1 and points for the microtransactions shop. While buying from Steam is arguably more convenient, purchasing directly from the PoE 2 website is the better option for existing Path of Exile fans and those who want to show Grinding Gear Games their support.
