Is Path of Exile 2 free to play?

Wondering if Path of Exile 2 is or will be free to play? You've come to the right place. Read on for the answer and more details.

Yes, Path of Exile 2 will be free to play after its early access. This is indicated by developer Grinding Gear Games on the title's official Steam page. The text states that the game "is a next generation free-to-play Action RPG from Grinding Gear Games, featuring co-op for up to six players."

While the full game will be free, the early access version of it is currently not free of charge. Rather, folks can check out the game ahead of its final launch date by purchasing one of the supporter packs. The least expensive option for early access is $30 USD.

Path of Exile 2 will be a free-to-play game, however, it will feature paid options. We can already infer that through the different supporter packs available for early access to the game.

This means yes, Path of Exile 2 will have microtransactions. A post by Grinding Gear Games confirmed this. The post added that the original Path of Exile and Path of Exile 2 will share microtransaction purchases wherever possible.

"In regards to microtransactions within Path of Exile 2, any existing or future microtransaction purchases you have made will be shared between both games where possible!" the post stated in response to a question. "However, there may be exceptions where this is not possible due to the microtransaction being specific to a single version, such as a Skill Gem Effect for a Skill not available in Path of Exile 2 or vice versa."
