If you're a fan of both Path of Exile 2 and the charismatic streamer Asmongold, you might remember the bet he proposed to Elon Musk. In a bold challenge, Asmongold publicly stated that Musk hadn’t personally reached level 97 on his character in the game’s permadeath mode. If Musk could prove otherwise, Asmongold committed to streaming all his content exclusively on X (formerly known as Twitter) for an entire year.
This unusual wager arose after another streamer, Quin, released a video suggesting that Musk had outsourced the leveling of his character to others. The stakes were high, given Asmongold’s influence in the gaming community.
Meanwhile, Path of Exile 2 continues to dominate the Steam charts post-launch, despite initial teething issues. Developers at Grinding Gear Games are actively addressing concerns and rolled out a new patch preview today. Patch 0.1.1 focuses on smaller fixes that collectively aim to improve gameplay stability and address minor economic imbalances without drastically altering the core mechanics. While these updates may seem minor individually, their cumulative impact promises noticeable improvements for players.
