Grinding Gear Games (GGG) has announced a series of major updates for Path of Exile 2 in the upcoming patch 2.0.1.1, which will enhance endgame mapping, leagues, pinnacle content, items, and more. Scheduled for release "later this week," this update aims to address numerous player concerns while continuing to refine other aspects of the game.
GGG is actively responding to player feedback during Path of Exile 2's early access phase. The game has already seen its first update of 2025, which tackled various issues across different game elements. Despite a positive reception, Path of Exile 2 still encounters technical challenges, including bugs and crashes that can affect gameplay. GGG's commitment to rapid response, open communication, and continuous improvement is evident in their approach to the game's development.
Path of Exile 2's game director, Jonathan Rogers, detailed the changes expected in update 2.0.1.1. The patch focuses on quick fixes that do not necessitate major gameplay overhauls. A key area of improvement is endgame mapping, with balance adjustments to the number of monsters, chests, and magic encounters to enhance rewards. The Lost Tower map has been revamped to be more engaging, and four new tower varieties will be introduced: Alpine Ridge, Sinking Spire, Bluff, and Mesa.
