Path of Exile 2's massive Return of the Ancients update gave Grinding Gear Games' action RPG a massive spike in popularity over the weekend, but it's also proving to be a seriously buggy release, and the devs are already trying to iron out some major issues.
Patch 0.5 for Path of Exile 2 arrived a few days ago, bringing six new endgame storylines as well as new Ascendancy Classes, Pinnacle Bosses, and crafting systems, with Grinding Gear Games calling it "our biggest update ever." With that, in combination with the fact that the game just had a free weekend, it's no wonder that so many people have been playing it – it hit a peak of 421,596 concurrent players on Steam alone yesterday (thanks, SteamDB), which is the most it's seen since its early access launch, when it hit 578,569.
