Fans eager to jump into Path of Exile 2 will have a chance to experience the latest content update at no cost during a special Free Weekend event running from May 29 at 1:00 PM PDT through June 1 at 1:00 PM PDT.
The limited-time event gives players access to Path of Exile 2: Return of the Ancients, offering an opportunity to explore some of the game’s newest features and major updates without needing to purchase entry beforehand.
One of the biggest additions arriving with the update is the new Runes of Aldur challenge league, introducing fresh gameplay experiences and new progression opportunities for players looking for a different journey through Wraeclast. Alongside the challenge league, the update also delivers extensive endgame improvements designed to expand long-term play and add more variety for veteran adventurers.
The free access period comes with another incentive for players considering a deeper commitment to the action RPG. Grinding Gear Games is also discounting its Early Access Supporter Pack by 50%, with the offer available from May 29 through June 12.
The discounted pack includes full game access as well as 150 points that can be used in the in-game store, giving players additional customization or convenience options.
With new content, expanded endgame systems, and a free entry window for curious newcomers, the event provides both returning fans and first-time players a chance to see what the latest evolution of Path of Exile 2 has to offer.
