Path of Exile 2 is backed up by a silly amount of content to explore. It would make sense that PoE 2 can be played across different platforms and give you the option to transfer your progress from platform to platform. It’s never this easy though, so let’s dissect Path of Exile 2’s cross-platform features from possible crossplay to cross-progression.
People assume Path of Exile 2’s similarities to Diablo 4 means it surely has to share the same network features. But life is never that simple, and just because Diablo 4 has crossplay and cross-progression, doesn’t mean Grinding Gear Games’ long-awaited sequel does. It makes me wonder why these functionalities aren’t uniform, but I digress.
Path of Exile has the potential to wow gamers as 2024 draws to a close, and prioritizing cross-platform connectivity would be beneficial.
Is Path of Exile 2 Crossplay?
Path of Exile 2 most definitely has crossplay across all release platforms.
If you have any doubts, let me shut them down by telling you it’s developer Grinding Gear Games who confirmed the wonderful news. In the Path of Exile 2 Console Announcement Trailer, appearing in large letters halfway through the trailer, it simply says, “Cross-play.”
A one-word answer tells us everything we need to know.
In short, if you’re on PlayStation, you can head into battle with Xbox and PC players, and vice versa. This is possible too as Path of Exile 2 has already assured the community of full multiplayer and co-op integration during Early Access—and likely beyond.
Does Path of Exile 2 have cross-progression?
We’re two for two as Path of Exile has also cross-progression—a detail once again confirmed by the game’s creator.
Tick all the boxes, give us your best grin, and choose your favorite Path of Exile 2 class with the knowledge your saved data is transferable between platforms. The console trailer also flashes up “Cross-progression” a few seconds after the crossplay confirmation, ensuring flexibility for all.
So, if you’re enjoying the free-to-play adventure game on PS5, and want to continue your adventure on PC, cross-platform cross-progression allows this seamlessly. You save your data on one format, turn it off, load up PoE 2 on another piece of hardware, and you pick up where you left off.
Let us know if you intend to take full advantage of these handy qualities. Also, boost your PoE 2 knowledge by knowing the game’s PC requirements, and how to play Early Access.
