Couch co-op in Path of Exile 2 isn’t split screen. 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 menus before you can jump in. Players can either join as guests and play through your content, which is great for newcomers to the game, or they can join as second players and access their own game content, too.
