Path of Exile is Coming to Xbox One!

They still cant fix the game performance on AMD cards(edit: actually in some cases and on NV), but hey lets get some more money...
I'm curious, 3 years can't fix AMD video performance and now they will release on consoles where hardware is AMD... LOL LUL
This is ridiculous. Yea, agree waste of resources. That time should be invested into new engine instead.

Well, I didn't spend hundreds of dollars on supporter packs for this. Sad to see this is where my money went.

I really hope this is a joke, there is no way that this is not going to negatively impact the PC version of PoE. I don't like this at all.

EDIT: I hope that I am wrong and that the game does not become worse. However, even if the game stays the same or even becomes better, I will not be spending any more money on this game as I refuse to support the development of a console game.

As a long term player with a shitty PC ( can't even think about playing breach the lag is so bad) and a shit load of friends not willing to get into the game on PC due to any one or more of various reasons, this announcement brings me unparalleled joy. I will be buying the highest tier supporter packs from now on. Rip my PC account I'm so fucking excited.

Regardless of what others may say even if the console version is dead I don't give a fuck. There's sooooooooooooo many builds I couldn't do due to my shit performance and having only some time to play for not wanting to leave my friends behind. I can now enjoy my favorite game with my best friend's, thank you GGG, fuck the nay sayers.

And suddenly... AN XBOX ONE.

I've loved playing poe for a long time now, and I certainly don't want to root against ggg, but how can anything good come of this? If the console game is successful, then you will be splitting the player base. Less players on a realm, trade and economy suffers, people quit. It's a lose-lose scenario.

Why are people bitching?

This in no way impacts the PC version's progression. They said they have a small team working on this. A team I'm sure they hired to do this specifically.


Honestly, what's the problem people? If you enjoy this on PC, continue playing on PC. This SHOULDN'T slow down PC progression, and anyone who has an Xbone now has two options to play.


I'm more than excited to see Path of Exile branch out like this. It's great!




(now if only we can get a PS4 launch confirmation or not...)

Did GGG even make a market research to know if developing PoE for consoles is worth it? Let's be frank here, the version of PoE that was meant to be played in the PC version, as GGG themselves said it will prioritize it over the console version, so why would a player really into PoE choose to play on console instead of a PC? I believe the people who will play on consoles won't really care enough about the game to make them actually want to spend any money on MTXs, so in the end investing on consoles might turn out to be a huge waste of money.

Also, promises that this won't effect PC aspects is bogus because look at how few race seasons we've been getting and when we do get them, they're random weak 2-3 day events. Yay.

When you're based in a small country and have in the past had to turn away talent due to immigration restrictions, keeping your talent pool to work with small, it doesn't make sense to split them up into pc only and console only.

So races, which are by and far one of the most loved features of diehard poe players, have been largely ignored, with VERY little communication from Chris and other GGG employees, and now a console announcement.
The more I think on it, the more my jimmies get rustled.

This is a big mistake
