Quick Links
Path of Exile 2 loot filters significantly enhance gameplay, especially in later stages with increased item drops. They declutter the screen while highlighting valuable items, streamlining the looting process. While using a controller or playing on console might seem to complicate this, PlayStation and Xbox players can utilize item filters just like PC users. This guide simplifies the process.
How to Link Path of Exile 2 and Console Accounts
To use loot filters on consoles, you must first link your console account to your Path of Exile account through the Path of Exile 1 website:
- Access the Path of Exile website and log in.
- Locate your account name (top-left).
- Select "Manage Account" (right-side, below your profile).
- Under "Secondary Login," click "Connect" for either PlayStation or Xbox.
Follow the on-screen prompts to link your console account.
Finding and Using Loot Filters
With accounts linked, return to your website profile and click the "Item Filters" button (right-side). Click the "Item Filter Ladder" hyperlink. A new tab will open displaying available filters.
Select "PoE 2" from the dropdown menu above the filter list. Choose a filter (NeverSink's semi-strict or regular filters are recommended for new players). Click "Follow."

Finally, in-game, navigate to the Options menu, then the Game tab. Select your chosen filter from the "Item Filter" dropdown (top of the menu). Save your settings. The filter will now modify item labels, colors, and/or sound effects.
