Consoles performance is HORRIBLE, GGG should be ashamed!

This is the number one issue with Path of Exile 2.
I’ve played over 1000 hours in Early Access, and it hasn’t improved at all.
I own both a PlayStation 5 (base) and a PlayStation 5 Pro, and I’ve tested all available graphics modes — it still stutters heavily during intense combat.

Even the audio stutters when it happens.

Please prioritize fixing these performance issues — it’s the biggest problem with the game right now.

Yes, yes and yes. Extremely bad performance, constant freezes and crashes no matter which setting I tried. I really love the game but I am not enjoying at all while playing and thinking game might crash anytime. Please fix ggg and please prioritize this.


Yeah, and the number of times I've died because of this... So much time wasted...
im on xbox. i cant approach an abyss without my game graphics flickering and my fps dropping to 13.
The moment you reach endgame the game becomes literally unplayable on PS5. I want to play the game, but I can't. And the fact there's no official statement acknowledging the severity of this is baffling to me.
Xbox SX, i just got my accuracy stacker build and i cant play the game anymore, t15-17 maps no fps there.

I barely started the endgame and I don't see more than 20 fps. I can't imagine how it becomes later 😵‍💫

We get it, it's PC-first but this is ridiculous. The game is literally unplayable in the endgame. Wtf is GGG doing? Does Jonathan even know about this or he's just chilling with his $10k PC? 😤
It's funny that this game on controller is better on pc than on any console, maybe they will add a search bar and mods that are missing to new trade after a month lol

I really don't think they care. We already gave them our money. Nothing about recruiting or keeping us around is in their interest when they have such a huge pc market that they cater to.
I'm really tired of this tbh.
I haven't recommended it to friends because of how bad it is. I really like ve the game but I'm not telling friends to deal with this shit.
Some of you must be really dump... arent you?!

In poe2 there are more improvements in a shorter time than poe1 every recieved or ever will get.

Dec - Jan 2024/25 was really horrible. Stuttering, performance issues everywhere.
Now 6 Month later the performance is nearly doubled.
Check out your FPS in option, when u near Abyss.
Mostly it runs with 15 - 20 FPS
( Yeah Leaugestart was a joke - 2-5 fps, but it got fix within a week )

Particle effects are lowered down, u can see more. We can see Groundeffects through skills, that is a big improvement.

Its true - we need more of it , like better rendering of fire skills or Cold explosions - Visually, there are times that the screen tears or got Flickering.
But to say, that they are doing nothing is a joke.
I dont think that we ever get a perfekt performance on console. Because this games is so extremly GPU depended - but its such a big upgrade to the poe1 experience. There are Worlds of different betwenn these two games.

Give it more time ( Early Acess still ), but never think, that a Console Version will get such good FPS numbers like PC does.
Its a PC optimized game and will get better on Console - maybe when poe3 is out and we got a Playstation 9 - This game can handle the Console Version in perfection. But for now its smooth enough in Early Acess to get a good experience.


- Smooth out Particle effects fire Cold.
- Smooth out Shockwave totem effects
- smooth out... a.s.o

This game should just not even be on consoles. They're just going to keep adding more and more content. Then more bugs will be introduced
