Path of Exile 2’s early access launch is just around the corner and while servers are still struggling to come online, the game is already breaking its predecessor’s player records.

Path of Exile 2 immediately jumped to 439,472 concurrent players on Steam, even without the servers being open for operations. That doesn’t even count players joining in on PlayStation and Xbox, but it’s almost double the original game’s Steam record. When so many people have started the game only to find themselves staring at a login screen, it’s fair to say we’re on to a slam dunk.
