How long is Path of Exile 2 early access?

Path of Exile 2 early access is upon us, providing a bunch of content to sink your teeth into before the game enters its full 1.0 release.

Usually with games in early access, there’s a very limited amount of gameplay available, giving you a small bite of the apple so to speak.

With Path of Exile 2, things have been done a little differently and here, we’ll reveal how long you can expect to be playing early access for within the allotted period, before the official launch date.

Path of Exile 2 early access length explained

If you’ve netted yourself a Path of Exile 2 Early Access Key and are raring to go, how much actual gameplay can you get through?

Well, you’ll be able to make your way through three campaign acts which is extremely generous for early access.

Moreover, there are six different classes you can choose from, enabling you to get a feel for a bunch of abilities, shaping your build.

There will be no character wipes too, allowing you to keep any progress you’ve made, perfect for those of you out there with limited windows to play.

For how long it’ll take you to make it through the aforementioned campaign acts, you’re looking at approximately 25-35 hours depending on how adept you are.

Completing these acts won’t get you to max level though and you’ll need to play these again if you’re hoping to reach those lofty heights.

There’s the endgame grind too, so don’t think you’re finished, providing hundreds of hours of possible gameplay if you’re up for it.

As for how much time you’ll have to rattle through all of the early access content, the developers have stated that this period will be at least six months.

While this is somewhat vague, at least you know that you’re not confined to a short, couple of weeks type scenario, cramming in whatever you can before the timer expires.
