PATH OF EXILE 2 JUST GOT A MASSIVE PERFORMANCE BOOST – AND IT’S ABOUT TO CHANGE THE GAME FOREVER!

Get ready, gamers! The action role-playing game Path of Exile 2 is about to receive a significant performance boost on all platforms, and it's going to be especially noticeable on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X.

This boost comes from a change in the game's code to allow it to utilize multiple CPU cores better, as explained by developer Grinding Gear Games in a recent press presentation.

According to co-game director Mark Roberts, "The primary issue is CPU load, and to address that, a lot of things have been optimized, and we have done a lot of work to take advantage of more of your CPU cores. You should see frame-rates at least 25 percent higher, and a lot less bad frame spikes during gameplay."

What’s Behind the Boost?

But, as it turns out, that 25 percent estimate is actually an understatement. In an interview with game director Jonathan Rogers, he revealed that the performance boost is even more significant, especially on consoles.

"The reason why we mentioned consoles specifically is that they tend to have slower CPUs generally," Rogers said. "Which means that on console, you are more likely to run into performance problems at endgame compared to players with PCs."

Rogers also mentioned that the changes will naturally benefit Steam Deck performance as well, but don't expect Path of Exile 2 on the Switch 2 anytime soon.

Technical Breakdown: How It Works

So, how does this performance boost work? In simple terms, the game's engine has been optimized to take advantage of multiple CPU cores, which means that the game can now handle more tasks simultaneously without slowing down.

This is especially important for consoles, which often have slower CPUs compared to high-end gaming PCs. By optimizing the game's engine, Grinding Gear Games has been able to reduce the CPU load and improve overall performance.

The Delirium Fog: A Thing of the Past?

But that's not all – the game's infamous Delirium fog is also getting a significant overhaul. The fog, which has been a source of frustration for many players, is being toned down "significantly," according to Rogers.

"Part of the reason why it's an issue is because the game currently has Instilling, and the way that Instilling rewards you effectively meant that it was completely mandatory to use," Rogers said. "So the first thing to do is to straight up remove the requirement to use it."

The fog is still present, but it's been dramatically altered to make it a more enjoyable experience for players.

What’s Next for Path of Exile 2?

Path of Exile 2 is currently available in early access on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series S/X, with a full 1.0 release expected later next year. The game will receive a quarterly update on December 12th, which will include a new druid class, a new league, and the performance boost.
