Audio performance is terrible.The game’s performance on PS5 is abysmal.

I'd like to report a serious issue regarding the extremely poor performance of Path of Exile 2 (PoE2) on PS5:

1. Audio performance is terrible. For example, while clearing maps, you can hear monster sounds, your own skill effects, and various other audio cues all at once. These sounds interfere with each other, resulting in extremely cluttered and distorted audio through headphones—like everything is overlapping and stuttering, with echoes that linger for a long time without fading. The only way to fix it is to unplug and replug the headset connection to the controller or turn the Bluetooth headset off and back on again. Because of this bug, I strongly discourage using headphones to play this game—it completely ruins the audio experience.

2. The game’s performance on PS5 is abysmal. Even when playing in a six-player party and setting all graphics effects to the lowest possible settings, the game still runs extremely poorly. The frame rate drops so badly that gameplay feels like a slideshow. This is unacceptable for a PS5 title. Could the developers please add an option to hide teammates’ skill effects? It’s critically needed—these visual effects severely degrade my gameplay experience.
