Path Of Exile's Siege Of The Atlas expansion is out now

Path Of Exile's latest expansion Siege Of The Atlas is out - and smoothly, it seems. It simplifies the Atlas endgame while making it more customisable, while also adding new eldritch bosses to smash through.

Popular action-RPG Path of Exile is one of the best free-to-play games on PC and yesterday it just beat its concurrent player count record - giving the RPG its highest player count since its release back in 2013, which seems to be primarily thanks to the launch of new expansion Siege of the Atlas.

Path of Exile released around nine years ago in 2013 - although it had betas before that - where it hit a concurrent player count of around 32,000 players and stuck around that as its record for several years. Around 2017 came the huge Fall of Oriath expansion alongside new Leagues, and Path of Exile has regularly been pushing its player count up ever since.

Yesterday, February 4, brought the release of the latest expansion Siege of the Atlas, and with it came a fresh surge in players - so many, in fact, that it broke Path of Exile's all-time concurrent player count on Steam after nearly ten years going.
