POE: Console 1.79 Official Patch

POE has seen its fan base grow exponentially with its latest platform ports to Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in recent years.

Now nearing the middle of 2021, with rumours of a POE 2 sequel coming in thick and fast everywhere, it is still a pleasant surprise to see that the original POE is still getting some love to continue taking care of its dedicated players.
