According to Path of Exile 2 creative director Jonathan Rogers, the PlayStation plus requirement for PS4 and PS5 players is not something the team is keen on. While the Grinding Gear Games founder hopes that this won't be a requirement in the future, he couldn't commit to it.
Speaking to VG247 during Summer Game Fest 2024, Rogers commented on the presence of a PS + disclaimer on the PlayStation version of the recent crossplay trailer. While this trailer notes that a subscription is required, the same cannot be said for the Xbox version.
"So that [...] that is not our hope." Rogers states. "That's something I believe should be okay without having a subscription later, but I can't commit to that because ultimately it's one of those things where there are negotiations that occur. I don't think that should be required but, let's see what happens".
