Grinding Gear Games' latest action RPG, Path of Exile 2, has made a significant impact with its early access launch on PC. The game has already reached over 450,000 peak concurrent players on Steam, indicating a strong reception from the gaming community.

However, the high demand has also led to server issues, with the online infrastructure struggling to keep up with the influx of players. The game is not yet free-to-play, and early access starts at $30, allowing players to have a direct influence on the game's development over time.

Grinding Gear Games co-founder Jonathan Rogers acknowledged the success but also warned of potential queues during the early access weekend. With over 1 million keys redeemed, the company has ordered additional cloud capacity to handle the high number of users, although they are uncertain about the limits they may encounter.
