Path of Exile is Coming to Xbox One!

Interesting. This makes me think of getting xbox one now..

I don't like the idea that GGG puts effort in a console version of POE.
Console and mobile gaming means death to any good PC game. My support in the past wasn't for developing for crappy platforms for sure.

Im not even shocked about this, GGG was never good at listening to community.

First they should fix their PC-Version, blaming peoples Computer is all that they can do.
Your Game Engine needs a serious FIX and Skills are bugged in a way or another.

Releasing PoE on Console will 1/2 the speed of fix progress and updates even if Chris tells otherwise.

Im totaly done with this Game if 3.0.0 brings no Light to the Tunnel we are in right now.

I quit several times but i always came back, after 3.0.0 totaly deinstalling this Game if GGG doesnt do anything about the issues this Game has on PC.

Not supporting anymore.

R.I.P. PoE 2017

Behold the future: First they overrefocus on the console version for a short-lived glut of sales, with the associated full-scale casualization of the game that requires (Bladed Blade of Blades gem will soon exist.) Then the console version falls off in popularity and is forsaken like any other console title more than a year after release. Then they either make PoE 2 or come back to a very unhappy PC playerbase.


Either way, GGG loses at least half of its current playerbase in the long-run, the way I see it, and Path of Exile as we know it ceases to exist within around six months, probably permanently.



Very sad. Well, at least now I can decide for sure without having to constantly question whether it can be fixed: Path of Exile will never be worth spending money on, because it now has a visible doomsday clock on it, and the problems that kept me from buying points this long will never get fixed.



Damn Microsoft and consoles in general. They are the cancer that kills the few games that still could have become greats.

It would've been great April fool's announcement. Too bad its not

Yeah, the console version of D3 was supposed to be the death of that game too. It's Season 9 right now, and a new class is dropping this year. The console version also spawned a number of fun game mechanics that were brought back to PC, for what it's worth.

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.

The target is the console buyers, not old and pc players. Ofc it's on the plus side if one will venture on both versions but it will be comparatively small. It's a gamble, but what if the risk proves to be successful? It might be dumb down with fewer flasks/buttons, but true multiplayer mode with actual class roles can be executed flawlessly in consoles unlike the woeful connectivity/ performance hell we pc players have to deal with. Dedicated pc purist can still enjoy PoE while maybe its the Xbox players turn to fund GGG, who knows? Meanwhile, i'll continue enjoying PoE as much as I can to either see things through or easily jump ship later iwhen unhappy.

I will play and support POE on PC as long as GGG still support it and give out new contents now and then on PC realm but I think that releasing POE console version is BAD IDEA and eventually gameplay on PC will be limited by what console can do with its joystick.
Just hope for the best scenario when GGG can earn a lot more money by porting POE to console so they can hire more developers to work on both versions instead of splitting out dev resource.
However, in the end, when they decide to create new contents they have to consider the limited functions of console controller in compared to keyboard and mouse and this will be the biggest hold back on any future developments.

Anyway, Im here to wish for the best possible outcome and hoping GGG is going the right direction.

before hitting release on xbox, must be some great trade improvement, otherwise comfort of playing on xbox and constantly checking poe trade or others sites for know what item worth or to buy items gonna be very painfull. Yea and i hope that not the all 3.0 gonna be

There was no meaningful updates for d3 since what? Season 5? For over a year or so. And all we are getting in 2 years frame time is one shitty class that will surely bring players back for a week or two. D3 is pretty dead by now
