Path of Exile 2 director has warned there may “very well be queues” over the weekend as the game celebrates one million early access “redemptions”.
In a brief message to players and fans alike, director Jonathan Rogers said that as interest in the sequel is “far beyond” expectations, this may impact waiting times as fans jump on to try out the early access build over the weekend.
“We’ve just reached one million early access redemptions,” the team explained on social media. “The support you have all shown for Path of Exile 2 Early Access is far beyond anything we could have ever predicted.”

With sales still increasing, Rogers said that “whilst [the sales] is great news, it also comes with some downsides, too. There are probably going to be some queues during the launch weekend”.
“Before our announcement, when we’re ordering capacity, we really didn’t expect to have more than a millions people online at the same time. We’ve already ordered way more cloud capacity and those servers will be coming online very soon. But I do have some concerns about issues with the backend.
