Couch Co-op 2 Accounts XBOX

Can we get couch co-op with two accounts?

Right now whoever is P1 is the account logged in and all characters belong to them and P2 has no way that I can tell to log into their own account.

We both have EA keys, each have our own Xbox but would sometimes like to play on the same couch/same Xbox.

Hi there,

I'm afraid at this stage the only couch co-op that exists is between 2 characters on the same account. We're unable to speculate on any future plans for couch co-op that haven't already been announced in our official channels.

So does this mean in the future you have no plans for two accounts to be able to be played couch coop style on one Xbox? And also I am not able to make a character on my brothers account, or visa versa, is this a bug or? Lastly, I'd like to know why we were informed that we could play couch coop on separate accounts on one system by buying separate EA keys, so have we been misled or misinformed? Thank you if you reply

p.s. I do mean this regarding POE2 on Xbox

Huh, it was announced in a Developer Diary that the second player would be able to log in with their account.

I get that it's not in yet.
But it's already been announced.
This is definitely a huge bummer finding out the hard way that this is not currently possible. My girlfriend was so excited to play this with me, but now we are not able to maintain our own characters with our own accounts.
Hi all,

We're sorry if this wasn't quite the response you were hoping for.

Just to clarify a bit further, you can find out a little bit more about this from our Path of Exile 2 FAQ post:

"
Is couch co-op available in Early Access?
Yes, you can play Path of Exile 2 in couch co-op mode on a single account right from the start. The second player will be able to create a character on that account.


Sadly we're unable to speculate if multi-account couch co-op is something that may come in a future update.

What speculation are you referring to? A timeline for this feature or the intention to implement it? Because it was said in a video that couch coop would work with 2 accounts. I understand that EA means the game is still being developed and not all features are completed but can you at least confirm that the video did describe how the completed game will work?
