Private Leagues and New Stash Tabs Now Live in PoE2

GGG just pushed Patch 0.2.0h live, and with it, two big new features are now available in Path of Exile 2: Private Leagues and two new stash tabs specifically for Ritual and Socketable items.

Here is what you need to know:

Private Leagues Are Here

You can now start your own Private League in PoE2 with a fresh economy, solo or with friends. These leagues are fully supported on both PC and console, but you will need to use the PoE1 website to set them up.

Some quick notes:

• Select ‘PoE2‘ in the dropdown when creating the league
• You can choose duration, league type, and player count
• Private Leagues work with crowdfunding, so friends can chip in points
• You can invite players manually or send out the league link
• Players can migrate out anytime like in SSF leagues
• A ladder is available for each league
• Trade is supported within your league if you are logged in

There are no custom mods yet, but GGG says more features are coming soon.

New Stash Tabs for Rituals and Socketables

Alongside the patch, two new stash tabs are now available in the store:

• Ritual Tab – Stores Omens and Audiences with the King
• Socketable Tab – Stores Runes, Talismans, and Soul Cores

The Socketable Tab also lets you upgrade your runes directly from the tab, so you do not need to visit a Reforging Bench:

Note: These stash tabs are only compatible with Path of Exile 2, not PoE1.

Other Notable Fixes

Hotfixes

Two small hotfixes have also already been released since the patch went live earlier today:

• Hotfix 1: Fixed a client-side bug where the Recombinator UI would stretch off-screen when highlighting modifiers
• Hotfix 2: Fixed an issue where using currency on Strongboxes while using WASD input could get your character stuck

These fixes require restarting your client.
