Path of Exile 2 entered Early Access on December 6, 2024 — that is the official launch date listed on the game's Steam store page and the date Grinding Gear Games used for the cross‑platform Early Access release. You can see the release info on the official Steam listing and related developer notes about the Early Access launch Steam store page for Path of Exile 2.
The Early Access launch itself followed a short delay from an earlier target date, and GGG have been clear that PoE2 will remain in Early Access while they add promised content. Reporting and developer comments indicate the team no longer expects a full, final release immediately after launch; full release has been discussed as targeting 2026 (and the game director has warned it may stay in Early Access beyond 2025). For context on the delay and the studio’s timeline comments, see coverage from Gematsu and PC Gamer. Gematsu report on the delay to Dec. 6 and PC Gamer discussion of the Early Access timeline.
