Since the new Betrayal update for Path of Exile, the game has set a new player record. This raises the question of whether this is solely due to the quality of the new content or also because of the controversy surrounding Diablo Immortal or the lack of news regarding Diablo 4.
How many players does Path of Exile have? Since the new content patch for Path of Exile, player numbers have skyrocketed. With over 120,000 players (via Steamcharts) at the same time on Steam, Path of Exile has shattered a new record.
According to Lead Designer Chris Wilson (via reddit), additional players are coming through the Standalone Client of Path of Exile. In total, according to reports, approximately 200,000 players are gathered at the same time.
