Path of Exile 2 gears up for bumpy launch as devs warn of server woes

Path of Exile 2 is just around the corner, at least for those who bought into its early access supporter program. With the understandable hype around this promising aRPG, the developers have issued a warning up front: Expect queue times and brace for a bumpy (network) ride.

In a post on X, Grinding Gear Games co-founder Jonathan Rogers commented on the game surpassing a million early access purchases ahead of its launch. While he was happy and excited to share the information, he remarked that the developers did not expect the early access program to draw in over a million people, and thus fears that queue times will be a reality during the launch weekend. Quickly trying to tie things up, GGG has set up additional servers to handle the load, though as Rogers says, it is unclear if the backend of PoE 2 will be able to handle such massive numbers simultaneously.
