Path of Exile 2's early access launch faces potential server challenges as the game surpasses one million pre-launch purchases. Grinding Gear Games (GGG) is actively preparing for what could be a challenging launch weekend.

Jonathan Rogers, GGG's co-founder, expressed both excitement and concern about the unexpected level of interest. While the development team has set up additional servers to handle the massive player base, they remain uncertain whether the backend infrastructure can manage such high concurrent user numbers.

Key Points:

• Over 1 million early access purchases recorded
• Additional servers deployed to manage player load
• Queue times expected during launch weekend
• Developers committed to resolving potential server issues quickly

The game follows in the footsteps of its predecessor, which became one of the most successful action RPGs in gaming history. Like the original, Path of Exile 2 will eventually transition to a free-to-play model approximately six months after its early access launch.

The high number of early access purchases, despite the planned free-to-play release, demonstrates the community's strong confidence in the project. The game's early access begins December 6 at 1 PM CT.

For those experiencing server issues at launch, Rogers assures that the team will work diligently to resolve any problems that arise: "Thank you guys so much for believing in this project. If we do run into server issues at launch, just know that we're going to be working as hard as we can to solve them."
