In a video this evening, Grinding Gear Games' Jonathan Rogers has shared an update on the number of key redemptions for Path of Exile 2 ahead of the early access launch tomorrow.
Jonathan went on to say that due to the large number of players, queues are expected to login during the weekend so make sure you get yourself in early. Grinding Gear Games has taken steps to order more cloud capacity to ensure the launch will be as smooth as possible, but "quite frankly" they don't know how their backend will hold up to the traffic as they go up to above a million users. There was never an expectation for the early access release to get this large and they are going to focus resources on ensuring issues are resolved as quickly as possible.
But hey, when you define the genre as an Exile-like, this kind of traffic is well deserved. Good luck to Grinding Gear Games during the launch of Path of Exile 2 Early Access!
