From 11 December 2026 Path of Exile 2 will be free, so Supporter Packs will be purely optional support for the studio plus cosmetics. According to GGG, the Early Access packs are leaving the store in a few weeks and five new Archon packs replace them, from Archon of Rebirth at $60 to Archon of Corruption at $480. As of 9 November 2026 the Archon packs are sold on GGG’s website and not on Steam. Everything below is based on what GGG had announced as of 9 November 2026; the full release is due on 11 December 2026.
Why the packs are changing
As of 9 November 2026, Path of Exile 2 is still in Early Access, on version 0.5.5f, and you can only play it with paid access. With the 1.0 full release, which Grinding Gear Games (GGG) has set for 11 December 2026 (Pacific time, PST), the game goes free-to-play.
That’s why GGG announced on 22 October 2026 that the Early Access Supporter Packs “will be leaving the store forever in a few weeks”. A set of five new packs for 1.0 replaces them. GGG didn’t give an exact removal date. The new packs have been on GGG’s website since 6 November 2026, when the studio presented the full release at ExileCon 2026.
Whether it’s worth paying now or waiting until the game is free is covered in our PoE2 price guide. This article is about what’s inside the packs.
What the Early Access packs included
According to GGG, the Early Access Supporter Packs include:
- access (a key) to Path of Exile 2 Early Access,
- points for the in-game shop,
- exclusive cosmetics,
- microtransactions usable in both Path of Exile 1 and 2,
- physical goods at the higher tiers.
The higher packs Lord of Ogham, King of the Faridun and Thaumaturge of the Vaal are no longer on GGG’s website as of 9 November 2026. Of the Early Access packs, only the basic Early Access Supporter Pack at $30 with 300 points remains.
Five new Archon packs for 1.0
The new packs contain exclusive microtransactions and points, and the top tiers add merch, a Path of Exile 2 figure and the option to have your hideout as an area on the Atlas. Prices are from GGG’s website as of 9 November 2026, in US dollars:
| Pack | Price (GGG website) | Points | Physical goods |
|---|---|---|---|
| Archon of Rebirth | $60 | 600 | no |
| Archon of Ash | $100 | 1000 | no |
| Archon of Destruction | $160 | 1600 | T-shirt |
| Archon of Divinity | $240 | 2400 | hoodie and T-shirt |
| Archon of Corruption | $480 | 4800 | light-up statue of The Hooded One, 26 cm |
According to GGG, with the packs that include physical goods you can take extra points instead (Archon of Destruction 160, Archon of Divinity 660, Archon of Corruption 960). Shipping for physical goods is paid separately. GGG lists all five packs with the item “Path of Exile 2 Early Access or Path of Exile 2 Key”, so you also get Early Access or a key.
Upgrading between packs
If you already own a lower pack from the same series, you can upgrade it to a higher one on GGG’s website. Pure point packs bought from 6 November 2026, 23:00 CET (22:00 UTC), also count towards the upgrade. The upgrade covers at most 80% of the target pack’s price, and you pay the rest.
Where to buy what as of 9 November 2026
| Store | What it offers | Price as of 9 November 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| GGG website | Early Access Supporter Pack and five Archon packs | $30 to $480 |
| Steam | Early Access Supporter Pack (Early Access, 300 Points) | €27.75 |
| Steam | Cosmetic Supporter Packs without access (Divinity, Bloodreaver) | €27.75 / €55.45 / €83.20 |
| PlayStation Store | Founder’s Pack – Path of Exile 2 Early Access | 639.00 CZK (Czech store) |
| Microsoft Store | Early Access Supporter Packs with no purchase option | price can’t be verified |
Steam prices are from the Czech store in euros. On Steam the Early Access Supporter Pack is now a separate DLC released on 6 November 2026. You’ll find it on the Steam pack page. Watch out for the cosmetic Divinity and Bloodreaver packs: Steam states “This Supporter Pack does not provide Early Access”, so they won’t get you into the game. Steam doesn’t offer the Archon packs as of 9 November 2026.
The PlayStation Store sells the Founder’s Pack with Early Access; in the Czech store it costs 639.00 CZK. On the Microsoft Store, the Early Access Supporter Packs listing only shows details with no way to buy as of 9 November 2026, so we don’t give a price.
Whether the Archon packs will come to Steam or consoles, and at what price, GGG hadn’t announced as of 9 November 2026. The full range is on GGG’s website.
Buying on PC or console
According to GGG, a purchase on PC (GGG’s website, Steam, Epic Games Store) unlocks Early Access for PC clients. How playing and progress work across platforms is covered in our cross-platform guide.
The shop stays cosmetic
The Path of Exile 2 shop stays cosmetic after 1.0 as well. GGG sticks to its “Fair-To-Play. Never Pay-To-Win.” promise, and the full release will be free-to-play with optional microtransactions. Your Path of Exile 1 account works in PoE2 too, and purchases are shared between both games.
What else the full release brings and how to sign up is in our full release guide.
