Hideout Showcase:
January 2026 Edition
Posted on February 7, 2026
The Path of Exile 2 community continues to demonstrate incredible creativity. In the latest official news post, Grinding Gear Games (GGG) highlighted five stunning hideouts created by players. Unlike the intense theory-crafting for builds, these showcases are a breath of fresh air, proving that "Fashion of Exile" (and Housing of Exile) is truly the real endgame.
Featured Hideouts
Here are the masterpieces featured in this month's video. You can download them via the links below:

Community Reactions: "GGG Can't Nerf Hideouts"
The forum thread sparked a lively debate. While many players appreciate the artistic effort, others are impatient for gameplay updates. Here is a breakdown of the sentiment:
"Unlike build posts that invoke sadness... hideout displays are very pleasant to watch. GGG can't nerf hideouts :)"
Analyst's Note: A hilarious but true sentiment. In a game known for meta-shifting nerfs, your hideout is the one thing that remains eternal.
"The ground hog saw its shadow, 6 more weeks of posts that no one cares about I guess."
The Debate: LordKillius also sparked a debate about "Anime Hideouts" (specifically mentioning 2B art), with user sirgog expressing relief to see non-anime themes for a change.
"When will you bring the MTX hideouts (like Maven/Crucible) to PoE2?"
The Big Question: Players are eager to know when their paid Microtransactions (MTX) from PoE 1 will be fully portable to PoE 2.
