In case you missed it: You can play Path of Exile 2 this weekend and score free cosmetic gear!
Path of Exile 2 finally goes free-to-play for a weekend, and Grinding Gear Games is throwing in exclusive cosmetics as a thank-you for logging in. Here is the easy, fun part: if you just show up and play, even if only for a little bit, you will walk away with some free goodies.
What you can earn for free:
- Exile’s Hood – just reach the Clearfell Encampment
- Exile’s Staff Skin – kill the Rotten Druid in the Grim Tangle (Act One)
- Exile’s Cloak – defeat Count Geonor at the end of Act One
This is 100% free microtransactions – no purchases required, no strings attached. All you have to do is join in during the Free Weekend (August 29 to September 1).

Quick reminder: we already covered the full Free Weekend announcement last week (you can find that post here) – with all the info on how to join in. But these cosmetics definitely deserved their own spotlight. They might be the easiest in-game unlocks we have seen so far.
