We're happy to announce that the Incursion Challenge league and Content Update 3.3.0 are going live tomorrow on Xbox One! Read More.

Today we launched the Incursion Challenge League alongside Content Update 3.3.0. We initially ran into an issue with our login queue where only some users could log in, but we had it fixed and the realm operational within 20 minutes of launch. For fairness to the vast majority of users who would have been 20 minutes behind in the crucial period of the ladder rush, we restarted the Incursion Leagues. Since that point, everything has run smoothly and we set a new day-one player concurrency record (at 140,870 simultaneous users). We hope you enjoy playing Incursion as much as we enjoyed creating it. See you in Wraeclast! Read More.

You've probably noticed that every service you've ever signed up for has recently updated their Privacy Policy and other legal documents relating to privacy and data protection. This is because the new European privacy regulations called GDPR come into effect today. In layman's terms, the GDPR requires companies to store as little data as possible, have a good legal basis for all data they store, store the data securely, and not share it with anyone unless it's strictly required. We have also updated our legal documents to make it clearer what personal data we store and why. You'll be prompted to read and agree to the new documents when you access the website or log in to Path of Exile. Read More.
