Console Announcements - Path of Exile: Heist on Consoles Launches Soon - Forum

Path of Exile: Heist on Consoles Launches Soon Path of Exile: Heist launches on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 tomorrow, September 23rd (PDT)! The realm goes down and patching begins at: Sep 23, 2020 4:00 PM (EDT) The servers go live at: Sep 23, 2020 6:00 PM (EDT) The Heist Supporter Packs on Xbox One will be available at the time of the launch. The Heist Supporter Packs on PlayStation 4 will be enabled a day later, on Thursday (PDT). Console realms will receive the 3.12.1 version of Heist which includes all the hotfixes from the PC version (up to and including Hotfix 3) as well as the 3.12.1 update which was deployed on PC earlier this week. To read the full patch notes, click here (Xbox One) and here (PlayStation 4). The Awakener Kill event will start when Heist goes live. After internal discussion, we have decided to change the event mode on consoles from HC SSF to SSF, so if you want to participate in this event on consoles to have a chance of winning console-specific codes, be sure to create your character in Heist SSF! In addition, any players who kill the Awakener on console in any Heist league will also go in the draw to win the randomly-drawn microtransactions. Good luck! We'd also like to mention that we've almost finished working on the guilds system for consoles! UI and all the functionality are already finished, and now we're waiting for our server admins to complete their tasks. We're aiming to enable guilds during the Heist league. Thank you for your patience! We hope you enjoy the Heist league on consoles! See you tomorrow at launch!

Thank you so much for changing the Awakener event to SSF instead of SSFHC. HC is just too brutal with Crash deaths at least once per 8-10 hours of play. Also, I'm super stoked to know that our version will be (essentially) fully patched at time of release. One question: Is there any way to find out the download size for the patch for PS4? I have super slow internet, and will actually have to take my PS4 elsewhere to do the patch, but knowing in advance how large it is would help me plan. Thanks!

I don't have an exact size to share, what I can say is that it will be a larger download than most league launches.	Posted by Jeff_GGG on Sep 22, 2020, 9:46:30 PM Grinding Gear Games Quote this Post
