On 7th December, GGG releases its 3.5.0 expansion for Path of Exile and later that month the game goes live on PS4. It's already out on Xbox One and PC.

A fan asked GGG on Twitter about the prospect of console cross-platform play for Path of Exile, now it's coming to PS4 and Sony has opened the door to the feature, but it sounds like it won't happen any time soon.
