Path of Exile: Sentinel launches soon! In this news post, we've gathered all the information you need to know about what happens on launch day and how to start downloading early.

The realm goes down and patching begins at: May 13, 2022 1:00 PM (EDT)
The servers go live at: May 13, 2022 4:00 PM (EDT)

The above times are displayed in your local time zone. You'll need to be logged into your account to see these. To change your local time, go to "My Account", "Manage Account" and "Edit Preferences".

If the timezone is displaying incorrectly for you, please disregard the above timer and refer to the countdown on the front page. Three hours before the end of the countdown, the realm will go down and patching will begin shortly after. When the countdown ends, the servers will be live and you'll be able to join the Sentinel League!

The patch size for the update will be around 4.7GB on the standalone client and 4.9GB on Steam. We've also made a torrent available for this update which is around 30.5GB. Please keep in mind that this method, while available earlier, makes it a larger update as it includes all the existing client content. When patching begins for Path of Exile: Sentinel you'll also have a few remaining files that you'll need to update as well.



This torrent only includes the GGPK file, so you'll need to copy it into your actual install folder once the patching server is up, no earlier than three hours before Path of Exile: Sentinel launches. Please note that you can't use this GGPK file with the Steam client and macOS.

Path of Exile: Sentinel will launch on consoles at May 18, 2022 8:00 PM (EDT). Downtime will begin for deployment at approximately May 18, 2022 5:00 PM (EDT). These are displayed in your local time.

If you're looking for some extra character slots for the launch, we're running a sale on these right now! This is also your last chance to get Harmony Mystery Boxes! It will leave the store when our next Mystery Box becomes available! Keep in mind that if you haven't taken advantage of it yet, it's still possible to get one free Harmony Mystery Box when you spend any amount of points in the store. NOTE: this is only possible once per account. Additional purchases do not grant additional mystery boxes. If you need some extra points, we recommend checking out the Sentinel and Core Supporter Packs.
