Path of Exile 2 0.4.0j Patch Notes (20th April 2026)
Path of Exile 2's latest patch is live today. Here's what changed in 0.4.0j.

Grinding Gear Games has pushed 0.4.0j live today for Path of Exile 2, a smaller maintenance patch following the recent wave of updates the game has been receiving. If you've been keeping up with the patch cadence lately, GGG have been moving fast, and that consistency is exactly what a live-service game in Early Access needs.
The official notes don't point to any single sweeping overhaul, so this one reads more as targeted fixes and adjustments rather than a major content drop. That's not a complaint, steady, frequent patches that address real player pain points are how you build trust with an Early Access community, and GGG have generally been good at that communication side of things.
Full patch notes below.
