Path of Exile 2: How to Claim Both Last of the Druids Cosmetics
Path of Exile 2 is gearing up for a massive showcase during The Game Awards 2025, and alongside the reveal of new content for The Last of the Druids update, players will also be able to earn two limited-time Twitch drops. One is completely free, while the other requires supporting a streamer during the event.
Whether you're watching The Game Awards for the announcements or tuning in purely for the loot, here's everything you need to know about how to get the PoE 2 The Game Awards Twitch drops, how long they're available, and how to link your accounts so you don't miss a reward.
All Path of Exile 2 The Game Awards 2025 Twitch Drops
There are two cosmetics available during the event, both themed around the upcoming Druid-focused league, The Last of the Druids.
1. Druids of Maji Portal Effect (FREE)
The first drop is extremely easy to earn and requires no purchase.
How to earn it:
·Watch 30 minutes (accumulated) of any eligible Twitch stream during The Game Awards.
This means you don't need to watch the entire show or even stay on one channel. As long as the stream is drop-enabled and showing the event, your progress counts.
This cosmetic will eventually be added to the MTX store, but if you want it now-and for free, the only way to get it early.
2. Battle-Hardened Warbear Shapeshift Effect (Requires Paid Sub)
The second Twitch drop is more exclusive and requires a bit of support for your favorite streamer.
How to earn it:
·Purchase or gift one paid Twitch subscription (Tier 1, Tier 2, or Tier 3) on a drop-enabled channel during The Game Awards livestream.
Important notes:
·Prime Gaming (Twitch Prime) subs do NOT count
·Gifted subs do count
·You must purchase the sub during the event window
This buffed Warbear form is perfect for Druid players planning shapeshift-heavy builds-and pairs nicely with gearing strategies where players use POE2 Items to optimize early progression in the league.
Because it's tied to a paid action, this drop is considered more of a premium, limited-time cosmetic.
How to Link Your Path of Exile 2 Account to Twitch
Before watching The Game Awards, you should make sure your Path of Exile 2 account is correctly linked to your Twitch account. If not, you won't receive your cosmetics-even if you meet all viewing or subscription requirements.
Fortunately, linking your accounts is simple:
Step-by-Step: Link PoE 2 to Twitch
1. Go to the Twitch Settings Page
On the official Path of Exile website, visit the Twitch Sync section under Account Settings.
2. Click "Connec.t."
If your account isn't linked yet, you'll see a connect button. Click it.
3. Sign in to Twitch
Log in with the Twitch account you plan to use during The Game Awards event.
4. Verify Connection
After connecting, click "View Rewards" on the Path of Exile website to ensure syncing is active.
Even if you've connected your account previously, it's still a good idea to double-check. Sometimes long-inactive integrations need to be refreshed. If you encounter any errors, simply disconnect and reconnect the accounts.
How to Claim Your PoE 2 Twitch Drops After Earning Them
Once you've met the requirements for each drop, the cosmetics won't appear automatically. You must:
1. Go to your Twitch Inventory
2. Click Claim on each completed drop
3. Wait for the cosmetic to appear on your PoE 2 microtransaction list
This process usually only takes a few minutes.
Will These Cosmetics Be Exclusive?
Generally, Grinding Gear Games offers early-access cosmetics through Twitch drops, not true exclusives. Here's what we know:
·Druids of Maji Portal Effect → Will arrive later in the MTX shop for both PoE 1 and PoE 2
·Battle-Hardened Warbear Shapeshift → Will release later in PoE 2 only
If you want these cosmetics before anyone else - and without spending points in the shop - The Game Awards event is your only opportunity.
Final Thoughts
The Game Awards 2025 is shaping up to be a huge moment for Path of Exile 2, with major reveals for The Last of the Druids update and two limited-time cosmetics available only during the event. Whether you're a dedicated veteran preparing to buy POE2 Items for the new league or a casual fan wanting free cosmetics, these Twitch drops are easy to secure and well worth the effort.
