Early Access refers to the period of Path of Exile 2 between the first release of the game for public download on December 6, 2024, to the official release of the game in Version 1.0.0. It is estimated to last at least six months.[1]

- Purchase the first tier ($30 USD) or higher Core Path of Exile 2 Access Supporter Pack launched prior to the release of Early Access[3]

Additional information can be found in the official FAQ.
Game structure
Acts 1-3 (out of 6 acts total) will be available in early access. Acts 4-6 will be added throughout early access. To bridge the gap between Act 3 and the endgame, a second difficulty level, Cruel, will be added, which will be the first three acts levelled up and with new rewards. The Cruel difficulty will be removed on full release.
Major features
6 character classes (Warrior, Mercenary, Ranger, Monk, Witch, and Sorceress) and 2 ascendancy per class will be initially available at the start of the game. Additional classes, ascendancies, and act and endgame content will be released in subsequent patches leading up to the official release.
During early access, the campaign will have two difficulty levels. After completing Act 3, the players must complete the first three acts on Cruel difficulty before they can access the endgame.
Previously purchased stash tabs and microtransactions from Path of Exile 1 that are compatible with content released in Path of Exile 2 are automatically applied from the start of Early Access.
