PoE2 Get 1 Million Early Access Redemptions, Warns About Weekend Queues

As a seasoned gamer with countless hours spent in various ARPGs, I can confidently say that the anticipation for Path of Exile 2 has been palpable within our gaming community. The one million redemptions before launch is a testament to Grinding Gear Games’ dedication and the game’s potential.

It was anticipated that Path of Exile 2 would garner a lot of popularity, but even its creators didn’t expect it to reach the one million redemption mark ahead of the Early Access release. With such a high level of success, there could potentially be some challenges that arise.

Taking to social media and YouTube, developer Grinding Gear Games’ Jonathan Rogers, the Game Director on Path of Exile 2, kicked off proceedings by thanking fans and announcing one million Early Access redemptions, which basically means one million gamers across PC and consoles have redeemed a Supporter Pack and gained access to the game’s Early Access version.

Afterward, the developer expressed their intention to maintain transparency with their audience, mentioning potential queues during the launch weekend might occur. They’ve increased their cloud capacity significantly, but they harbor some doubts concerning the backend, as they’re uncertain about its ability to manage the expected demand.

We’ve just reached 1 million Early Access redemptions. The support you have all shown for Path of Exile 2 Early Access is far beyond anything we could have ever predicted. However we want to be upfront with you all and let you know there may very well be queues over the weekend.

In case technical difficulties arise during the launch, the developers assure us they’ll put maximum effort into resolving them. Once more, they express their gratitude for the continuous support from fans.

You could watch a video featuring PoE2 Game Director, Jonathan Rogers, discussing an impressive achievement, and he also issues a heads-up regarding potential waiting lines.

Anticipate queues and occasional server troubles during the debut of this massive game. It’s understandable given the scale, and it’s refreshing to see the developers being honest about it rather than staying silent or giving the illusion that there will be no delays or glitches.

Remember, Path of Exile 2 won’t cost anything when it officially debuts. However, if you want to play it during the Early Access phase, you can buy one of the Supporter Packs, starting at $30. The fact that over a million people have done so is quite remarkable!
