Grinding Gear Games has announced a special two-week Twitch Drops event to celebrate the launch of Path of Exile 2: Dawn of the Hunt. Starting April 4, 2025, players can earn exclusive in-game rewards by watching streams of the game on Twitch, with different rewards available each week for those who accumulate enough watch time.
Dawn of the Hunt Celebrates with Exclusive Rewards
The Twitch Drops event for Path of Exile 2 kicks off on April 4, 2025, at 12:00 PM PDT and will run for two weeks, offering players a chance to add unique cosmetic items to their collections. The event is structured in two distinct phases, each featuring different rewards for participants.
During Week 1, running from April 4 at 12:00 PM PDT through April 13 at 4:59 AM PDT, viewers can earn the Azmeri Noble Deer Pet after accumulating three hours of watch time on any channel streaming Path of Exile 2.
Week 2 follows immediately after, starting April 13 at 5:00 AM PDT and continuing until April 20 at 4:59 AM PDT. During this period, viewers can unlock both the Hunter's Trophy Back Attachment and the Honour Guard Summon Rhoa Effect after watching streams for three accumulated hours.
How to Participate and Claim Your Rewards
To participate in the Twitch Drops event, players must first link their Path of Exile account with their Twitch account. This can be done by visiting the Twitch Settings page while logged in. If your account isn't already connected, you'll need to click the "Connect" button for Twitch under "Other Connections."
It's important to note that the sub-account you link with Twitch should be the one you want to receive the drops on. After completing the connection process on Twitch, you'll be redirected back to your Twitch Settings page, which should confirm that your Path of Exile account is linked to your Twitch account.
Important: Don't Forget to Claim Your Rewards
Grinding Gear Games has emphasized that many players fail to claim their rewards despite earning them. After accumulating enough watch time to earn your drops, you must manually redeem them from your Twitch Inventory before the promotional period ends. This step is crucial and easily overlooked.
For Streamers: Enable Drops on Your Channel
Content creators planning to stream Path of Exile 2 during the event can enable Twitch Drops for their viewers through the Twitch Creator Dashboard. This allows your audience to progress toward earning rewards while watching your streams.
The drops are guaranteed for everyone who watches any Path of Exile 2 stream for the specified amount of time during each week's window. This promotion is available for all Path of Exile accounts, making it accessible to the entire community.
What Can You Expect from Path of Exile 2?
For those new to the franchise, Path of Exile 2 takes place 20 years after the events of the original game, returning players to the dark world of Wraeclast with enhanced graphics, gameplay mechanics, and a revamped Skill Gem system. The game features 12 character classes to choose from, allowing for extensive customization and diverse playstyles.
Developed by Grinding Gear Games and published by Kakao Games, Path of Exile 2 maintains the free-to-play model of its predecessor while offering a fresh and expansive action RPG experience on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S platforms.
