Having to rebuy stash tabs & MTX on PS5 feels like GGG just doesn’t care

Hey Exiles,

Cross-progression in Path of Exile 2 is amazing on paper — I can jump from PC to PS5 and keep playing my characters. That part works great.

But the way stash tabs and MTX are handled across platforms is honestly terrible.

I’ve already paid for stash tabs and cosmetics on PC.

When I log into PS5, all of that becomes remove-only or unusable.

If I want to actually play comfortably on console, I’m forced to rebuy stash tabs and MTX through the PlayStation Store.

Other games do this way better. In Destiny 2, cosmetics are tied to your Bungie account, not the store — if I buy something on PS5, I can use it on PC. Same thing with Fortnite, Apex Legends, Call of Duty: Warzone, Genshin Impact, even Minecraft — all of them allow true cross-platform MTX sharing. Buy once, use anywhere.

GGG, meanwhile, makes us repurchase basic QoL features like stash tabs just because we change platforms. It feels like they don’t care about the player experience and just want to squeeze more $$$ out of us.

I can understand cosmetics being platform-locked if the stores demand it, but stash tabs? Those aren’t optional fluff, they’re basically mandatory to play comfortably. Locking them per platform is just bad design and a clear cash grab.

It’s frustrating that in 2025, other studios figured out true cross-platform support, but GGG hasn’t — or worse, doesn’t want to.
