" When does Early Access start on all platforms?
Path of Exile 2 will launch in Early Access at 11am December 6th PST which is Dec 07, 2024 8:00 AM (GMT+13) 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.

Unfortunately Path of Exile 2 will not be available on MacOS at the start of Early Access, but we’re keen to add support for this platform as soon as possible.

When will I be able to download the client?
A few days prior to the Early Access launch. We’ll announce the details in the news, so you won’t miss it!
