New Path of Exile 2 Hotfix Released, Here’s What It Does

Path of Exile 2 has been one of the hottest early-access games and action RPGs of 2024, with plans to go strong in 2025. Grind Gear Games has been hard at work making improvements to the game, and taking feedback from the community when making updates. Each one brings new content and fans back to the game, especially when issues appear and Grinding Gear Games fixes them. The studio has just released a new hotfix, the third since Path of Exile 2’s early access launch in 2024, and players are thrilled about what this hotfix brings to the game.

While the hotfix fixed a number of issues, the three that standout are fixing Corrupted Skill Gem Level Modifiers, improving weapon skill visibility in chat, and resolved client crash issues caused by the Power Siphon skill. Players will need to restart Path of Exile 2 and verify their game is up-to-date to ensure the hotfix takes effect.
