Path of Exile 2 continues to enjoy great popularity among players. Even the richest man in the world still plays the game, even from his private jet. It will only be difficult from Mars.
How is Elon Musk doing in Path of Exile 2? Elon Musk likes to play ARPGs, which was evident when he attracted attention with streams and a record in Diablo 4. He’s also fond of Path of Exile 2, where he recently made headlines because the game kicked him out even though he said he wasn’t cheating.
The richest man in the world has now reached the endgame of the game. But instead of playing at home in front of the computer or console like normal people, Elon Musk is now playing Path of Exile 2 from his private jet.

Gambling in a private jet, yes! – Gambling on Mars, no!
How does Path of Exile 2 play from a plane? On X.com, Musk shares a video of himself fighting one of the game’s difficult bosses, the Arbiter of Ash. During the fight, Musk and another human can be heard discussing tactics.
But a lot of tactics aren’t necessary, because Elon Musk knocks the boss down without any problems. The gameplay looks smooth and there are no lags or other inconsistencies. The entrepreneur writes in his article that the internet on the plane works through Starlink.
Starlink is one of Musk’s ventures that promises to deliver “high-speed internet around the world” (via www.starlink.com). Elon Musk’s private jet seems to be no exception, but Path of Exile 2 probably won’t work on Mars.
What is Mars all about? Gregg Cook, @SmallPettingZoo comments under Musk’s post on X.com: “Imagine gaming on Mars. Starlink can connect the world and beyond.” Playing Path of Exile 2 from Mars one day will be impossible even for Elon Musk.
He is very realistic and answers X.com: “You can definitely play on Mars, but because of the speed of light, real-time play between Earth and Mars is not possible. The distance varies from ~4 to ~20 light minutes.”
Playing Path of Exile 2 from Mars simply fails because of the distance to the celestial body. The ping between the two planets would simply be too bad. Gaming on Mars would be conceivable if there was its own internet there. Then you could play against other players on Mars.
A lot will still change in Path of Exile 2 before that happens, even if there won’t be any more updates until 2025. Until then, many players are probably hoping that another change will be made to the loot, which primarily affects one item category: Path of Exile 2 players are demanding a change to the loot, and one type of item in particular is annoying them
