For PC players, simply press Enter on the keyboard to open the chat window. Select one of the chat groups and channels in the bottom left part of the interface and left-click on them.

If you’re on a console, you can do this by navigating through the character menu. Once you do this, the selected channels or groups should turn gray, and you won’t see any messages from them.

You can still see the messages later once you enable them. Until then, you won’t be bothered by any messages from these sections.

Using In-Game Menu

You can also hide chat in Path of Exile 2 through the in-game Options section. Here, select the Interface tab and find the Chat section by scrolling down. Next, just show or hide different chat channels and groups.

You can also customize your chat layout in this section, such as adjusting the font size, box width, height, and more. This can be useful if you find the chat section in the in-game interface obscuring your view of important gameplay elements or if you prefer a cleaner, more personalized layout to enhance your overall experience.
