Path of Exile 2's latest update, Return of the Ancients, is the Diablo 4 rival's biggest update yet both in scope and in popularity, fueling the highest surge in players since the game's early access launch back in in 2024. That said, players say it's also the buggiest update yet, with widespread reports of progression-blocking bugs and crashes plaguing what has otherwise been a well-received update.
Return of the Ancients completely overhauled Path of Exile 2's endgame when it launched late last week with six new endgame storylines as well as the new Ascendancy classes and Pinnacle bosses, but as you might expect with an update so huge – especially if you're a Diablo 4 player – a number of bugs managed to hitch a ride with the new features.
