PoE 3.26 launches today. Everything you need to know about release of the long-awaited update
The Secrets of the Atlas league in Path of Exile will launch tonight. The developers have gathered the most important information about the update, such as the time of the server shutdown and the start of the preload.
The long wait is almost over - tonight, a new league in Path of Exile will start, which fans have been waiting for almost a year. To prepare players for this event, the Grinding Gear Games studio published an article containing all the most important information about the release.
- PC servers will be shut down at 10:00 am PT. At the same moment, the update process will start.
- The Secrets of the Atlas League will be launched on PC and consoles at 01:00 pm PT.
- The update will be around 9.6 GB on PC and 10 GB on consoles.
- The developers plan to make the pre- option available for console players as well, but they didn't provide an exact time. They only advised to "be vigilant."
Furthermore, if you are playing on PC using a standalone client, you can now Secrets of the Atlas via a torrent file. However, you must bear in mind that in this way you are ing the entire content of the game, which naturally is more (47.7 GB) than the update itself. Even when the patching process begins, you will still need to a few remaining files. You can find the torrent on the PoE website.
I would like to add that before playing, be sure to prepare a loot filter. If you are using the popular tool FilterBlade, its creator, NeverSink, announced on X that they will release an update today.
Secrets of the Atlas will bring a lot of new features to the game. We'll be getting a continuation of the story, with a focus on the returning character Zana, an expanded Atlas league mechanic, three new Pinnacle Bosses, and a mercenary system.
Path of Exile is available on PC, PS4, PS5, XOne, and XSX/S.
