Path of Exile 2: How To Hide The Chat

As a seasoned Path of Exile 2 player with countless hours spent slaying monsters and trading items, I can confidently say that the chat feature is a game-changer for this action RPG. It adds an element of social interaction that was missing before, allowing you to connect with fellow adventurers, share tips, or even barter for rare loot.

In Path of Exile 2, your character is continually connected to the server while you play, ensuring encounters with other characters as you traverse the distinct Hub towns in each act. The game incorporates a chat function, enabling players to interact and communicate with one another, regardless if they’re from the same guild or just random players.

In Path of Exile 2, you can adjust the chat settings based on who you wish to receive messages from. The chat function will overlap your gameplay as you progress, but if you prefer to concentrate solely on the monsters in front of you, you might want to minimize or filter out the chat. Here’s how to manage and hide the chat within Path of Exile 2.

How To Hide Chat In Path of Exile 2

Regardless of the active filters on your chat, you can completely conceal it so that it becomes visible only when you specifically open it within the character menu. Here’s how to make the chat invisible in both the game world and the character menu:

  • Open the character menu and select the toggle chat option in the bottom left corner of the screen.
  • Select the option to start a chat found along the bottom of the chat menu.
  • Along the middle bottom of the screen will be the, “Toggle Chat Groups” option.
  • Select every chat feature that is orange until the bar around the title is grayed out.

In menus, this function will successfully conceal the chat since all channels have been set to be invisible. While it’s hidden, any messages addressed to you will accumulate and can be reviewed later, ensuring you don’t miss important information such as links to items. This feature could be useful when searching for a message containing an item link.

In the chat interface, you can customize where you receive messages by completing the steps outlined earlier and having a specific section highlighted rather than faded. Here are your choices:

Channel Name Who Is In It
Local Only the players in the same area as you can message here, only used in Hub Towns.
Global Any player on the server from any area can message here.
Party Anyone in your active party no matter how far apart you are.
Whispers This acts as a private message system letting only you and that player see the messages.
Trade Trades are done between two people and only they can see the details.
Guide Anyone in your guild can message here, but you must be in a guild.

Players using PlayStation consoles can opt for private game servers, which are isolated from cross-platform play but can be switched on at will if desired.
