3.28.0c Hotfix 2 - Path of Exile Patch Notes (18th March 2026)

Grinding Gear Games dropped a small but welcome hotfix for Path of Exile today. It's a tight two-fix patch, but one of them will matter to anyone who's been running abysses near mirage edges and watching their abyssal trove spawn somewhere completely unreachable.

That bug, where the trove could pop outside the accessible area, is now fixed. If you've been staring at a chest you can't touch and wondering if you were losing your mind, you weren't. The two instance crashes addressed here are less glamorous, but instance stability is non-negotiable when a bad crash mid-map can cost you a juiced run.

Credit where it's due: GGG continues to push fixes quickly rather than letting bugs sit. This isn't a patch that reshapes the meta, but it keeps the game running the way it should. Full patch notes are available on the official Path of Exile forum. Here's everything that changed:
