Our Secrets of the Atlas themed Fan Art Competition concluded last week. More than 150 Exiles submitted their art inspired by our latest Path of Exile expansion and its content. With the help of our art team, we’ve selected the winners and are now ready to announce them!

Check the winners on our forum here!

The Merciless Gauntlet started last week, and the top competitors are displaying unbelievable levels of skill. Zizaran and his team have put together a highlight reel of the event so far, which you can check out below.


There are still 6 days left in this event so you have plenty of time to try it out and grab yourself the exclusive Mercenary Gauntlet microtransaction. Good luck!

This weekend we’re running a Stash Tab Sale! You can view the full selection of discounted tabs in game by pressing M to open the store. The Stash Tab sale ends at 5pm, August 4th (PDT).

The following tabs will work in both Path of Exile 1 and 2:

• Premium Stash Tab
  
• Extra Stash Tab
  
• Premium Quad Stash Tab
  
• Gem Stash Tab
  
• Flask Stash Tab
  
• Currency Stash Tab
  
• Essence Stash Tab
  
• Unique Collection Tab
  
• Delirium Stash Tab

Until the end of the sale, we’re offering one free Dawn of the Hunt Mystery Box when you spend any amount of points in the store. This means you can purchase anything discounted in the sale or any other microtransaction from the store and receive one Dawn of the Hunt Mystery Box as a gift from us. This offer is available on both PC and Consoles.


All the microtransactions from the Dawn of the Hunt Mystery Box are available in both Path of Exile 1 and Path of Exile 2, with a few differences to some of them. Any microtransactions from this box that you unlock in Path of Exile 2 will be immediately available to you in Path of Exile 1, and vice versa.

Please note: It’s only possible to get one free Dawn of the Hunt Mystery Box from this promotion. Making additional microtransactions purchases will not grant additional Mystery Boxes. Purchasing a supporter pack will not grant a free Mystery Box but spending points from a supporter pack can grant a free Mystery Box.

Players who have unlocked all microtransactions from the Dawn of the Hunt Mystery Box will receive two Twilight Mystery Boxes instead. Please note that while the Twilight Mystery Box is not currently available in Path of Exile 2, you will still receive it and should be able to open it in the Path of Exile 1 client or just wait until we add support for the Twilight Mystery Box to Path of Exile 2.

Thank you for your support!
