Path of Exile 2 has been gathering praises left and right from both critics and fans since it’s Early Access release. Countless players flock to the servers everyday spending hundreds and thousands of hours for weeks on end. One of the main contributing factors that made the PC version so commercially successful was its relatively low barrier to entry. You don’t really need a high-end modern rig to run the game well. But just to help you fully maximize performance and visual strengths, here are the best PC settings for Path of Exile 2.
One of the best things about Path of Exile 2 is that even if you don’t crank everything up, the game still looks absolutely gorgeous in motion. There are just a few tweaks you can do to fully get the most out of your FPS performance.
