Path of Exile 2 Twitch DropsGrinding Gears Games

Path of Exile 2 is celebrating its early access launch with a suite of Twitch drops. This guide will break down what the rewards are, when you can get them, and how to add them to your account.

Path of Exile 2 is about to explode into the ARPG scene with paid early access launching on December 6, 2024. The isometric horde slayer draws heavy inspiration from the Diablo franchise as evidenced by the game’s predecessor.

This has caused a lot of discourse around whether this game is the Diablo 4 killer and Twitch streamer Asmongold has even predicted that it will “cannibalize” Blizzard’s audience. We’ll have to see if this is true come the game’s rollout but developer Grinding Gear Games is pulling out all the stops to ensure a successful launch.
