Xbox Game Share

We recently discovered that a group of bots were making use of the Xbox game share feature to obtain access to the Path of Exile 2 client. It was not our intention that you could play Path of Exile 2 on a separate Xbox account due to someone else on that same Xbox purchasing it.

As part of the 0.2.0f patch deployed today we made a change that requires your account to have purchased early access in order to use the Path of Exile 2 Xbox client.

After this patch was deployed, an issue came up where some legitimate Xbox players who had been provided a key to unlock Path of Exile 2 lost access to the game. We've fixed this issue, and the affected accounts should be able to login once again.

We recently announced some improvements to Path of Exile 2: Dawn of the Hunt. Many of these improvements, including Ascendancy respeccing will be coming in patch 0.2.0f, which we're planning to release later today. The following patch notes are still subject to change prior to the patch's deployment. This patch may take roughly 15 minutes to become available to download on PlayStation after it has been deployed.

0.2.0f Patch Notes

This patch adds support for respeccing ascendancy classes, atlas bookmarks, new stash tab affinites, changes to charms and totems, as well as many other improvements and bug fixes.

As the week wraps up, we've pulled together a list of changes we're targeting for deployment in a patch mid next week. We've been busy making improvements to Path of Exile 2---here's what's on the way.

One of the most requested features we have had is the ability to respec Ascendancy classes. However, something that was important to us is to make sure that while it can be done, it does require some level of effort.

We have implemented it in the following way:

• Redoing an Ascendancy Trial allows you to respec which Ascendancy Class you have chosen at the Ascension device, but only if the Trial would grant you the number of points you already have.
• In order to respec your Ascendancy class, you must have zero points allocated in it, but you can now open the Respec window

Check out some of the videos below, or get yours by pressing M while in-game to access the store!

Yesterday we listed a bunch of changes that we are making to improve the game. 0.2.0E will be deployed tomorrow at around 3PM PDT or (Apr 11, 2025 1:00 AM (GMT+3) in your local time), it will contain all the changes we have posted about from the last few days as well as some other things we have been working on today.

This following list of the changes are just the changes that have been made so far, these are not the only changes we are investigating and they do not represent a full list of what players are reporting to us.

Monster Speed Changes

Many players have been reported being overwhelmed by monsters. The cause of this is a variety of factors and we are addressing them on a case by case basis. We have listed monster changes act by act below, but we also made the fol

We've just released the Dawn of the Hunt Mystery Box in Path of Exile 2, a new mystery box without duplicate microtransactions! Each of the cosmetic effects in this mystery box has visual behaviour that interacts with your gameplay. Check out the contents of the box in the video below!

Please note that currently the Dawn of the Hunt Mystery Box is available only in Path of Exile 2.

There are 55 microtransactions (including variations) that you can find in the Dawn of the Hunt Mystery Box. Each of these microtransactions has a varying number of thematic variations, and you'll never receive a duplicate copy of a variation that you have already opened. For example, if you open one variant of a microtransaction, you may la

Today we are continuing to work on changes based on player feedback and this is a list of the updates that we have finished internally. We will be deploying the following changes over the next few days.

This is just a list of the changes that have been made so far. These are not the only changes we are investigating and they do not represent a full list of what players are reporting to us.

Player Balance Changes

Now that we have a lot of the nerfs out of the way, we can concentrate on buffing things that are not performing well.

Sorceress Specific Changes

• Arc now does a lightning explosion when it hits a shocked enemy but can no longer shock. It does not consume the shock.
• Eye of Winter now gains bonus elemental damage when passing through other elemental orbs like S

In our update post yesterday we said we would be checking to see if there were any outliers in the area clear times during the campaign. Now that we have done the first pass of our assessment, we can talk about some of the changes that we are making to improve things.

Our focus this time is on Act 3 areas since this act has a somewhat overall longer completion time.

The Drowned City

This area had a very large dead end that was intended to contain an entrance to an area that was temporarily cut to ship Early Access. Unfortunately this means that in the live version, this leads up to an inaccessible door with no checkpoint. We are removing that part of the level and the part that leads up to it which will reduce the overall

Many people are reporting that gameplay is feeling too slow. Sometimes this comes in the form of people saying that monster life is too high, or player damage is too low, or areas are taking too long. In this post we will talk about some of the things we have already done, and more of the changes we are planning on making.

Huntress Specific Concerns

One of the major concerns that we have seen for the Huntress is that a lot of the power of the class is locked behind the Parry mechanic, and some players do not wish to Parry. Getting Frenzy charges without Parry is an option available to the class later on, but there are no other early game options that don't involve Parrying.

We want to give early game players an option to get Frenzy charges without Parry, but we have to be very careful no

During the livestream reveal of Path of Exile 2: Dawn of the Hunt, we discussed several things in the Q&A that we'd like to provide some further clarification on. In today's news post we'd like to start with additional information about Map Portals in Dawn of the Hunt!

Map Portals

We'd like to clarify the situation with having to use portals each time you die. The concern raised during the Q&A was that you would be consuming portals to have to store items in your stash or trade with players. With so few portals, as low as one, you would not be able to leave the map and return.

We have made the following change to address this problem:

You will now be able to enter and exit your Maps as much as you like as long as you haven't died. The number of portals is now representative of
