Path of Exile 2 is the upcoming ARPG from Grinding Gear Games, and it has the potential to revolutionize the genre. You may have seen it during the recent State of Play and wondered if the game has couch co-op, and we're here to answer that question.

Yes—Path of Exile 2 will feature a fully dedicated couch co-op experience, allowing players to play the game with friends from the comfort of their own home. The feature isn’t common in games these days, so it’s refreshing to see it added to a mainstream title. Path of Exile 2 currently doesn’t have a confirmed release date, but whenever it does release, players will be able to jump right into couch co-op.

Yes, the game will be free to play, just like the original title. Of course, it will likely feature a cosmetics shop, just like the first title. And if you’ve collected a bunch of skins and cosmetics from the first game, you’re in luck, because everything you bought in Path of Exile will carry over to the second game. This is another feature that is generally missing from live service titles, as some of the most popular ones, like EA Sports FC and Call of Duty, don’t let players carry over their purchases to the next annual release.
