Path of Exile 2 is a sequel, not many thought was going to happen. However, it’s nearly here, so let’s find out everything we know about how to preload Path of Exile 2, and more details on its hyped release.
Gaming has changed for better and worse as the years have gone on. The digital age has made it easy for companies to release games in unfinished states—implementing updates later—and build obtrusive microtransaction walls. On the other hand, accessing your favorite titles and most anticipated games (Path of Exile 2 included) is easier than ever thanks to preloading.
Instead of a Path of Exile 2 midnight launch, or hoping your copy arrives on day one, you can preorder digitally and preload PoE 2 to have it raring and ready to go on your desired platform
Can You Pre-download Path of Exile 2 Yet?
The option to pre-download and preload Path of Exile 2 early has not been made available yet.
Don’t worry though, as with many digital titles, there’s a strong possibility Grinding Gear Games enables the option closer to launch. As of writing, we are still a few days out from PoE’s release, so I’d advise you to keep checking back with the article for the latest updates.
Once the option to preload is live though, I expect this to be the simple process you need to follow:
- Decide which platform you want to play Path of Exile 2 on—the ARPG does include cross-progression.
- Now, from the platform directly, or on a browser, go to the format’s storefront.
- Click on the search bar and look for Path of Exile 2.
- Press on the game.
- An option to pre-download Path of Exile 2 should become available.
- Do this, and wait for the installation to complete.
- When this is done, you can start Path of Exile 2 the second it goes live!
Each of Path of Exile 2’s launch platforms are likely to update the ARPG’s preload status before the Early Access start date.
Which Platforms Can You Preload Path of Exile 2?
Path of Exile 2 should be eligible for preload on every platform outed: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
Many Early Access games set for a multi-platform release opt to confine the first few weeks and months of gameplay to PC. According to the Path of Exile 2 FAQ though, “Path of Exile 2 will launch in Early Access at 11am December 6th PST which is Dec 06, 2024 7:00 PM (GMT) in your local time on all supported platforms, including a standalone PC client, Steam and Epic Games Store clients as well as Xbox Series and PlayStation 5.”
