Path of Exile 2 – How to Portal to Town on Controller or Console

As a seasoned Path of Exile 2 player who has traversed its labyrinthine paths with both mouse and keyboard, and controller in hand, I must say, the game’s tutorial leaves much to be desired when it comes to cross-platform functionality.

In Path of Exile 2, you can easily access the Town Portal spell by clicking its assigned key when using a keyboard and mouse on your computer. However, employing a controller or playing on a console demands a slightly more intricate process.

This is actually explained normally during the tutorial. However, the game doesn’t give you the tutorial if you didn’t start with a controller or console from the get-go. It never explains how to use the Town Portal if you first play on PC with keyboard and mouse and then switch to controller, for example. Plus, it’s a bit unintuitive…

Don’t worry, our concise guide will walk you through all you need to learn to utilize the Town Portal when playing with a controller!

In order to utilize the Portal to Town in Path of Exile 2 using a console or controller, you’ll initially need to assign it to one of your skills. Start by pressing and holding the View Button (Xbox) or the Touchpad (PlayStation DualSense) to display the Interaction Menu.

If you’re using a different brand or type of controller, you should press the button that corresponds to the one you usually use, such as ‘Select’ or ‘Back’. The specific button can vary based on the make and model of your controller.

Open the Radial Menu, then navigate down using your controller’s joystick to choose the Bind Screen. Once there, simply let go of the button you’re pressing to open the menu.

As a devoted gamer, I’d like to share an alternative method for accessing the Bind Screen. Instead of using the Radial Menu, you can slow things down a bit by navigating to the Skills Tab in your Character Menu. To do this, simply press ‘X’ (on Xbox) or ‘Square’ (on PlayStation) while focusing on this tab. However, bear in mind that it operates at a leisurely pace compared to the swiftness of the Radial Menu!

So, there you have it, that’s how to use the portal to town when playing Path of Exile 2 with a controller or on a console! You can now quickly use it whenever you wish to return to town. Knowing how to use this feature is crucial, especially if you decide to play the game in couch co-op. That mode forces both players to use a controller, even on the PC version of the game!
