Path of Exile 2’s Closed Beta will begin on June 7th (PDT) 2024. More information on how to gain access will be shared as we approach that date. Path of Exile: Trial of the Ancestors will be released on August 18th (PDT) on PC and August 23rd (PDT) on Console.
In this thread, we’ll round up any questions we answered elsewhere in the community so that you can find all that information in one easy place. The most recent information will always be at the top. We intend to update this post every weekday with any questions that have been answered that day. We will also fold our FAQ news posts into this post as they happen. When we add a new question and answer, we’ll reply to the thread so that it gets picked up by various community trackers.
