Path of Exile has released a new Hotfix update that aims to address several issues that have been plaguing the game.

Path of Exile continues to thrive with regular updates and patches, keeping it bug-free and fresh for its dedicated fanbase. With the much-anticipated sequel set to launch in 2025, PoE fans have a lot to look forward to this year.
With GGG focusing most of its efforts on the launch of Path of Exile 2, fans have been impatiently waiting for news about Path of Exile 1. However, much of that frustration may be eased by the recent announcement that the Path of Exile: Legacy of Phrecia event will be extended until late April. The latest PoE event introduces exciting new features, including 19 new subclasses and the replacement of the Atlas Passive Tree with an Idol system. For many fans, the addition of brand-new subclasses offers a great opportunity to experiment with different builds.
Path of Exile 2 Most Popular Classes Revealed
Grinding Gear Games shares some interesting stats with the community, revealing which classes are the most popular in Path of Exile 2.
As announced on the official Path of Exile forum, the Hotfix 3 update is now available to all players. The update aims to address several issues, including a bug that causes the Atlas Passive Window to open after claiming the reward for completing Maven’s Crucible. It also fixes multiple crash-related problems, along with other improvements. The forum notes that players will need to restart their client to receive some of the client changes included in the patch.
Despite being released over a decade ago, Path of Exile continues to maintain strong player numbers. A significant boost in its popularity has come from the success of the Legacy of Phrecia event. The event has been a huge hit, peaking at over 91,000 concurrent players on Steam within the first 24 hours of its release. With the follow-up title set to launch soon, many fans see the latest PoE event as a well-timed treat that will help build excitement for the upcoming game.
On top of the new event and the sequel's impending release, Path of Exile 2 early access began late last year. Early feedback from fans suggests the game is on track to meet the lofty expectations set by its predecessor. The developer has already confirmed that the early access will last at least six months, giving players plenty of time to explore Wraeclast.
With the highly polished early access of Path of Exile 2 in full swing, players are diving into the new campaign and storyline while experimenting with the revamped skill system. Additionally, GGG has confirmed a major update for Path of Exile 2 in March. With ongoing patches and events for PoE 1 and early access giving a preview of what’s to come in the full PoE 2 release, fans are in for a big 2025.
