Path of Exile's latest expansion titled 'Scourge' officially launched today on both PC and Mac; the console version is launching on October 27th. As with previous Path of Exile expansions the launch of Scourage also brings with a new league and a ton of returning players.

The game's 24 hour peak as of this writing is up to 148,395, close to the game's all time high of 157,091. Given that this expansion just launched, I wouldn't be surprised to see Path of Exile break a new record on Steam later this weekend.

Path of Exile Scourge includes the following new features:

  • New skill gems
  • Rework to the passive skill tree
  • Improvements to the Atlas endgame (New Dream Furnace device lets players upgrade their maps up to 10 times)
  • New aspirational endgame content (Much harder new late game content)
  • New guild features (Guild stashes and Hideouts where players can gather and hang out)
  • New unique items
  • 'Scourge' item transformation system
  • Tons of small balance tweaks/cahnges
  • The expedition league is being added to Path of Exile's core game content with the Perandus league retiring.
  • 13 new Divination cards, 5 new currency items, 2 new socket styles, and so much more.
