The latest Developer Diary showcased exactly what we can expect from couch co-op, and from what we’ve seen, it’s shaping up to be an exciting new feature for the game. Couch co-op in Path of Exile 2 won’t be split screen, which is great news for players that hate to cram onto the same screen as their pals. Instead, players share the same screen, but have panel versions of the full-screen menus that open on either the left or right side of the screen. You don’t have to wait for your friend to finish in the menu before you can jump in.

Players can either join as a guest and play through your content, great for those that are new to the game, or they can join as a second player and access their own game content, too.
