Path of Exile: Keepers of the Flame will launch on PC and Console 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.

Realms will go down at: Oct 31, 2025 12:00 PM (EDT) and patching will begin shortly after.

The servers go live for PC and Console at: Oct 31, 2025 3:00 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 Keepers League.

The patch size for the update will be around 10GB on the standalone client, Steam and Epic. The estimated sizes of the patch for Consoles are: 23GB for Playstation 4, 33GB for Playstation 5 and 39GB for Xbox. The predownload for Consoles is already available.

We’ve also made a torrent available for PC. 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: Keepers of the Flame 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: Keepers of the Flame launches. Please note that you can’t use this GGPK file with the Steam client, Epic client or macOS.

Don’t forget to link your Path of Exile account with your Twitch account to earn new Twitch Drops at launch! If you're streaming Keepers of the Flame on Twitch, here's an asset for you to use for the upcoming Support A Streamer promo! Please note that since the announcement of the Drop rewards yesterday, there have been visual changes to the Breachlord's Claw Character Effect: the glowing purple visual effects were removed to better match the aesthetics of the Breach.


Look the part this League Start with the new Verdant Magus and Champion of Theopolis Supporter Packs. If you were planning to grab the Cryptkeeper and Phrecian Magistrate Supporter Packs, this is your last chance to do so.
