Here, we'all thrilled to be informed that Path of Exile and its latest 3.6.0 expansion will come out on PlayStation 4 in a couple of hours. As the official post mentioned before and the latest update provides, the PS4 version of Path of Exile will go live on March 26th and showcase for American regions first at 8 am while Europea will have its premiere at midnight later.

Allegedly, Path of Exile on PS4 will be only available for players in American and European regions. As for Asia, Russia, Australia, and some other regions, it won't show up and be purchasable until developers work that out someday.

About one day ago, Path of Exile official website released a post about answering all sorts of questions related to this PS4 roll-out. Based on what we gathered from this post, a number of avid players who happen to possess both PC and a PS4 console wouldn't be exhilarated by the information from this post that openly declared the cross-platform account connectivity, property migration wouldn't be an option and even cross-platform play was postponed to be realized.

However, even though PS4 release of Path of Exile sounds rather immature and semi-finished to me based on the post, it has some inspirations and highlights at some points. For example, it will open up the invitation settings in the game so that you can invite up to five friends of yours joining an adventure with you. And the resolution target is 1080p in the game on PS4 and DPS(Dynamic Resolution Scaling) is 60fps so that PS4 owners bask in the same high-quality graphics and drastically fluent actions as it performs on PC. More importantly, PS4 owners will be rewarded with bonus items on the very release day, as well as will be given the Private Leagues and Race Events deployed into the game in the near future by developers. PS4 also will feature a lot of fundamental factors which already exist on PC and Xbox, such as POE Currency items, vendors, trading, too.

The following list is about some major information about this PS4 release incident, anyone who wants a brief heads-up may find this quite intriguing. Anyway, these have been sorted out into 3 categories:
