by  Dana Sydorenko Last update: January 21, 2025

Although Path of Exile 2 is currently in early access, it already offers players not only hundreds of hours of game content but also flexible choices of how and on which platform to play. In this article, I will explain how Path of Exile 2 crossplay works.

Is Path Of Exile 2 Cross Platform?

Yes, Path of Exile 2 is a cross-platform game available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.

Is There Cross-Progression In Path Of Exile 2?

Yes, Path of Exile 2 supports crossplay and cross-progression between all platforms. You can easily start playing on a PC and then continue on a PlayStation or Xbox console. In addition, Path of Exile 2 supports couch co-op, meaning that two players can play the game through one device on one screen. Unfortunately, cross-progression in Path of Exile 2 will not apply to microtransactions and cosmetics, according to the news published on Reddit.

What Can You Do With Other Players In Path Of Exile 2?

The game supports online co-op for up to 6 people when passing locations. In hub locations, you are constantly online and can meet other players and interact with them. At the moment, the game has not yet implemented a PvP system. Instead, the trading system has already been introduced. I think it is as inconvenient as it was in the first part of the game. You can also create guilds and add your friends and other players you meet in hub locations or invite using the internal chat.

How To Enable & Disable Crossplay In Path Of Exile 2

Path of Exile 2 crossplay allows players on different platforms to play and trade with each other. For PC players, crossplay is enabled by default, and they do not have the option to turn it off. Only PlayStation and Xbox players can choose whether they want to play only with players on their platform or on other platforms as well and can toggle crossplay on and off at any time.

In order to enable/disable crossplay in Path of Exile 2, PlayStation/Xbox players should follow these steps:

• Launch Path of Exile 2 on your PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X/S
• Open the Settings menu from the main screen
• Go to the Game section
• Find the “Disable Crossplay” checkbox.
• If you want to turn crossplay off, toggle this checkbox.
• If you want to turn crossplay back on, then uncheck this checkbox.

Final Thoughts

Thanks to cross-platform and crossplay features in Path of Exile 2, you can play together with your friends, no matter what platform they prefer to play on. It is very easy to turn crossplay in Path of Exile 2 on and off; however, this feature is not available to PC players – for them, crossplay is always on. Path of Exile 2 offers many interesting encounters, and even now, in early access, you can trade with other players and invite them to guilds, as well play together online in parties up to 6 people. With the release of the full version of the game and the introduction of PvP, it will undoubtedly become even more enjoyable!
