Path Of Exile 2: How To Prepare For Early Access? - Game Length & Suitable Devices

Posted: Dec 04, 2024

From the initial announcement to the official trial version to be launched on December 6, Path of Exile 2 has experienced multiple delays, which can be said to be a rough fate. But fortunately, everything is worth it.

According to the current known information, POE 2 has not only made a lot of useful updates and changes based on the first game, but also added a lot of new content worth experiencing, including endgame and upcoming leagues of content.

It is precisely because of this that Path of Exile 2 early access will occupy a lot of device memory, which is very challenging for your hardware facilities. Based on this, we will introduce you to the specific situation of POE 2, and help you choose the right gaming equipment to welcome POE 2.Path Of Exile 2: How To Prepare For Early Access? - Game Length & Suitable Devices

How Long Is Path Of Exile 2?

Path of Exile 2 not only has an endgame and upcoming leagues of content that require you to use hundreds of hours to experience, but also a main story divided into six acts, and 12 classes to experience. Although there are only three acts and six classes in early access, you will play at least a good portion of the game.

According to what the developers of Path of Exile 2 revealed in a recent livestream, if you are new to POE series, it will take about 25 hours to complete acts 1 to 3. But if you are familiar with the first game, you may complete these contents faster.

To play the end-game content in early access, you need to be level 65. And to achieve this, you must complete the first three acts again on Cruel difficulty. At this difficulty level, all monsters and bosses will cause more damage and trouble, but the benefit is that they will drop more Path Of Exile 2 Currency.

The last three acts and more parts that were not released in early access will reportedly be released in the full version of POE 2. You can expect that the game time will be significantly longer with the release of version 1.0, and the end-game content will also last for hundreds of hours as you will level up from level 65 to level 100. The content size will roughly double between the early access and full release. This will undoubtedly require a higher level of your gaming device.

New Support Gems

In addition to the richer main content, Path of Exile 2 has also updated some inherent game mechanics to further deepen the game. This includes support gems. It is actually an item you can find in the game world to help enhance your skills.

Depending on the type of support gem you find, it can add bleeding damage to your skills or add additional projectiles to anything you shoot. If used properly, these humble items can even have a tremendous impact on your strength and help you turn the tide of battle at a critical moment.

If you find a support gem in POE 2, hover your mouse over it to see what it can do for your skills. If you right-click it, you will add it to the learned skills. It is worth noting that each skill can only get one of each type of support gem, so you can’t add multiple projectiles to a grenade throw, but you can add additional projectiles and freeze effects.

Additionally, there is a box at the bottom of the support gems skill menu that you can check to only show recommended support gems, and unchecking it will show everything you can add. You can try to find out which method of using support gems works best for you.

What Devices Can Run POE 2 Smoothly?

Before you officially start your Path of Exile 2 adventure, you first need to make sure that your laptop, desktop or game handheld can handle this game to avoid unexpected situations where you have to interrupt the game because the hardware quality cannot support the game halfway.

1. PC Devices

Compared to some other games released in recent years, POE 2’s requirements for PC systems are indeed not that demanding. But you need to at least make sure your computer is up to standard. However, although you can definitely play the game with the minimum system requirements, you will also get a better gaming experience if your PC specifications are higher.

At present, you need to leave about 100GB of free space on your PC for Path of Exile 2 to run. If you don’t have enough space, we recommend uninstalling old games or rearranging your data.

2. Mac System

Although many people expected POE 2 to land on Mac OS, the game seems to be only available for Windows on Steam page and Epic Games page. We can’t confirm whether it will be compatible with Mac.

3. Steam Deck

Although Steam POE 2 page shows that the game does not support Steam Deck, the developer has explained that this RPG can be played on Steam Deck. So if this is the only way you can experience Path of Exile 2, you can rest assured.

4. Other Handheld Gaming Devices

Because the system requirements of PC version of POE 2 are not very high and it supports Xbox controllers, in theory, the game will also run well on ROG Ally and Legion Go.

Path of Exile 2 early access is about to be released, so you should make sure that the gaming device you have can run it smoothly before then. Whether it is a laptop, desktop or handheld computer. Thankfully, although it requires a lot of storage space because of its heavy content, the final system requirements of POE 2 are not that high.

After this introduction, I believe you have a deeper understanding of the richness of Path of Exile 2’s content and the length of time it takes to experience it. Of course, you should also prepare the right equipment in advance based on this information so that you can smoothly advance the game progress after the game is launched.
