3.28.0f Path of Exile Patch Notes (8th April 2026)

3.28.0f is live in Path of Exile today, and the headline fix is one that should have been caught a lot sooner. Several monsters were applying ailment effect and duration additively rather than multiplicatively, meaning players with 100% reduced Shock effect could still get Shocked. That's not a minor edge case; that's a build-breaking interaction that invalidates an entire defensive layer.

Beyond that, Grinding Gear has added support for the upcoming Gauntlet Event, fixed invisible monsters in Breach Hive Colonies, and sorted a bizarre edge case where Raise Zombie of Falling corpses were standing up and following you around. The Currency Exchange also now correctly ignores currency sitting inside map device storage, which was a quiet quality-of-life issue that's been annoying more players than probably realised.

There are also four separate client crash fixes here, including specific ones for PS4 and PS5, plus a controller-related crafting bench crash. Credit where it's due: GGG keeps these notes specific and honest, which makes it easy to know exactly what changed and why. Full patch notes below.
