Path of Exile has the highest number of players

Echoes of the Atlas was launched in 2013 as the latest extension of Path of Exile, and since then, it has been the most popular among players.

PC Gamer reported that on January 15, the latest expansion set a record on Steam, with a total of 157,103 users. This day is also the date when Atlas Echo was released to the public.

The player's base is not shown. As a developer, Grinding Gear Games has an independent client that can run Path of Exile. These players can be excluded from the POE Chaos Orb SteamDB data.

Grind Gear Games has also encountered some server issues since the launch of the extended version. A news article showed that the reason why the number of players with the highest value was 11% higher than the previous Path of Exile release was that they were actually celebrating together, but this caused some big server problems.

Developers are also doing some hardware upgrades for the server. In the near future, there may be downtimes and delays.

On PC, "Atlas Echo" is already available. On January 20, "Atlas Echo" will also be available on the host. A wealth of content including 11 new maps, new weapons, items and final game equipment will be provided in this expansion pack. Players can fight against the boss at every difficulty level in a boss rush style challenge. The ritual alliance is a separate wave-based model.

Chris Wilson, as the head of Grinding Gear Games, revealed to us the POE Currency latest news about Path of Exile 2. He said that the development progress is not as fast as expected, so it may not be released in 2021. If players need POE Currency in the game, they are welcome to purchase it on IGGM.
