Title: Severe Performance Issues on PS5 – Game Becomes Unplayable in Late Game

Hello,

I want to report that Path of Exile 2 on PlayStation 5 has become nearly unplayable for me, especially in the later stages of the game. The performance issues are not only visual but also affect sound, making the experience very frustrating.

Here is what I’m experiencing:
- Frequent frame drops and screen freezes during combat, especially when there are many enemies or effects on screen.
- Enemies and effects often do not render properly, making me play “blind” and relying only on intuition.
- Severe audio issues: delayed sound, missing voice lines, and stuttering during fights.
- Even with all available settings adjusted (dynamic resolution ON, NIS scaling, global illumination OFF, shadows only, 60Hz, dynamic culling), the problems remain.
- The game is installed on the PS5 internal SSD and I have already tried reinstalling, but the issues persist.

Because of this, I cannot properly enjoy the endgame content, which is supposed to be the most fun part of PoE2. This is very disappointing after purchasing the game and investing so much time.

I kindly ask the development team to prioritize console optimization and fixes for these severe issues. The game runs in a state that makes it impossible to fully enjoy, and it affects both visuals and sound.

Thank you for your attention.
