Later today, we're planning to deploy the 3.17.3 patch which introduces several improvements alongside a beta for PC Controller Support. Check out a preview of its patch notes below.

The following patch notes are still subject to change prior to the patch's deployment. We'll deploy the 3.17.3 update on consoles as soon as possible after its release on PC.

3.17.3 Patch Notes

PC Controller Support Beta

• This patch adds the Beta for PC Controller Support to Path of Exile.
• To access this feature, connect a game controller to your PC, launch Path of Exile and go to the Input Options panel. Change the Input Method option to "Controller (Beta)". It should take effect without you having to relaunch Path of Exile. Please report any bugs related to controller support in the Bug Reports forum.

Fixes and Improvements

• Using the Highlight Key when hovering dropped items now displays minimum and maximum defensive values again.
• The overkill explosion from the Punishment Curse no longer occurs if the curse is owned by the defender or one of their allies.
• Fixed the arena mechanic in The Infinite Hunger boss fight so it now stops once the boss is killed.
• Fixed a problem with Scourge Arrow where projectiles that were forked or split were not placing pods.
