Path of Exile is a free action RPG developed by Grinding Gear Games and released on October 23, 2013. It runs on Windows and macOS and needs 8 GB of RAM and 40 GB of free space.
In Path of Exile you play a character exiled to Wraeclast, a grim continent, fighting through monster-filled zones and collecting ever more powerful gear. The game pairs the classic top-down action RPG formula with an exceptionally broad character-building system.
