Path of Exile 2 even managed to beat the concurrent player numbers of Marvel Rivals over the weekend on Steam, touting over half a million players.
The action RPG space has a new sheriff in town. Grinding Gear Games released Path of Exile 2 into early access at the start of this weekend. On Steam, the title has gone on to have a record-breaking half a million concurrent players just on Steam alone, more than doubling the numbers that were seen for the first installment. The surprising part is that the original is a free-to-play venture, while Path of Exile 2 currently has a $29.99 price tag as a starting point.
As with most big releases nowadays, launch day did not fare well for Grinding Gear Games, with hundreds of thousands of players being stuck on a login screen for hours as the studio battled with database issues in the backend.
