Path Of Exile 2 Full Release Date Announced For December 2026

Path Of Exile 2 Is Finally Leaving Early Access This December Grinding Gear Published Aug 25, 2026, 3:36 PM EDT Sign in to your TheGamer account Finally, we have a firm release date for Path of Exile 2. On December 11, 2026, Path of Exile 2 will leave early access, getting its full version 1.0 release. This was just revealed at Gamescom Opening Night Live. The release date means that Path of Exile 2 will have had two years of early access by the time the full game launches. Path Of Exile 2 Version 1.0 Launches On December 11, 2026 This release date was confirmed alongside a new trailer at Gamescom Opening Night Live. It gives us a taste of what's in store for fans in the final release, after two years of playing through earlier builds. Path of Exile 2 launched in early access on December 6, 2024. Unlike some early access games, it was available on both PC and console, so PS5 and Xbox Series X/S players have already been able to jump in. Anyone who bought the game during early access will have access to the full game at no extra cost as of December 11. We already knew the full release was coming in 2026, but without a firm release date for so long, there was always the looming threat of a delay. We've seen that with many other 2026 releases, particularly as GTA 6 is slated for November 19. Many games are running scared, but it makes sense that Path of Exile 2 is (just about) clinging onto the 2026 date. It's already got a dedicated playerbase thanks to early access, so it's unlikely it will be drowned out by Rockstar.
