Grinding Gear Games (GGG) is set to roll out significant updates for Path of Exile 2 with the upcoming patch 2.0.1.1, scheduled for release "later this week." This update aims to enhance the game's endgame mapping, leagues, pinnacle content, items, and more, directly addressing player concerns gathered during the early access period. Path of Exile 2 has already seen its first update of 2025, which was well-received but highlighted ongoing technical issues like bugs and crashes that GGG is actively working to resolve.
Game director Jonathan Rogers has detailed the forthcoming changes in update 2.0.1.1, emphasizing quick fixes without altering the core gameplay. Key among these updates are enhancements to endgame mapping, with balance adjustments to monster counts, chests, and magical encounters to make them more rewarding. The Lost Tower map has been revamped, and four new tower varieties—[ttpp]Alpine Ridge, Sinking Spire, Bluff, and Mesa—will be introduced.
