Almost four months after the launch of Path of Exile 2 in early access, players have finally received the first major update, 0.2.0. Dawn of the Hunt will be released this evening and will introduce a huge amount of new features to the game - the full list of changes contains over 700 items. On this occasion, the developers gathered and shared some of the most important information regarding the launch day.

  1. Dawn of the Hunt will start at 12:00 pm PT on all platforms; PC, PS5, and XSX/S. Let's hope that we won't experience a delay, as was the case with the December debut in EA.
  2. On PC, you will need to download about 31 GB of data, and on consoles 27 GB.
  3. Grinding Gear Games has already made the preload option available for console owners.
  4. PC players who use a standalone client can now download Dawn of the Hunt via torrent. The update files need to be copied to the game folder, but no earlier than 3 hours before its release.
  5. Steam and Epic Games Store users, on the other hand, have to wait for the PoE 2 servers to be shut down, which will happen at 10:00 am PT.

With the launch of Dawn of the Hunt, players will have the opportunity to acquire new cosmetic items through drops on Twitch. You can find the details on the game's website and in the video below.

The Dawn of the Hunt update will introduce to PoE 2, among others, a new character class, over 100 skills, a huge amount of unique items, additional mechanics, and important changes in the endgame. The game has also seen major balance adjustments, resulting in the nerfing of many builds. You can find more details in our previous publications (linked in the first paragraph of this news).
