Questions about Cross-Progression and Sub-Accounts

Questions about Cross-Progression and Sub-Accounts
I'm getting ready for the POE2 EA and since I enjoyed POE on PC and PS4/5 in the past I have a few questions about Cross-Progression, Sub Accounts, MTX and Supporter Packs.

I have already read https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3586288, but a few things are unclear to me. Sorry if the questions have already been answered, but I check the forums and reddit and couldn't find answers.

Let's assume I have two accounts, one for PC and one for Playstation:
flo_pc#1111
flo_psn#5555

These will become Sub-Accounts once I merge them.

I want to play with the same Character on both platforms.
I have read, that MTX and Supporter Packs will not be shared between PC and Playstation.
I have read, that characters are bound to a Sub-Account.

So if I want to have one character that I can play on both platforms, I have to use the same Sub-Account on both platforms. Is that correct?

Since my PSN is linked to flo_psn#5555, the PSN Store will link the purchase of a PSN Supporter Pack to this Sub-Account. But with this Sub-Account I can NOT access the PC-Store on the POE Website and buy the PC Supporter Pack. I will automatically be redirect to PSN or receive the message:

Vice versa, I can't use flo_pc#1111, since I'm NOT able the buy the PSN Supporter Pack for this Sub-Account.

What am I missing? Can I somehow unlink my PSN-Account from flo_psn#5555 and add it to flo_pc#1111?

Additional Question: What if I have bought premium stash tabs on Playstation but not on PC? Will the character loose access to these stash tabs, when playing on PC?

Looking forward to you feedback and thanks for making Cross-Play and Cross-Progression happen :D
Best, Flo

Hi, thanks for your quick reply. My questions are related to POE 2. Sorry I didn't make that clear.

I already read the link as stated above. My question still remain.

1) How do I manage to have PC and PSN MTX and the Supporter Packs on the same Sub-Account. When each Sub-Account has only access to one of the stores.
(PC Sub-Account can only access PC Store, PSN Sub.Account can only access PSN Store)

2) I understand that "any purchases made on PlayStation platforms cannot be used on other platforms", but what does that mean in practice for StashTabs?
Will they be invisible, grayed-out, readonly?

1. You cannot have them on the same sub-account, they are entirely separate.

2. You will not be able to use them.

1. You cannot have them on the same sub-account, they are entirely separate.

If I can't have them on the same sub-account, how is cross-progression supposed to work?

Lets' assume I create a character on Playstation my PSN sub-account.
I buy some premium stash tabs and add my gear and currency to the new stashes.

The next day I want to play the same character on PC.
In order to play with that same character, I have to use my PSN sub-account on PC.
(correct me if I'm wrong)
... and now I can't access the items and currency in my stash?

Then cross-progression wouldn't make much sense, since I only have access to 10% of my items on PC.

Correct - if you play that character on PC, you will not be able to use any PS items, including MTX and stash tabs. Sony and GGG could not come to an agreement about this.

That's a bummer, but thanks for clarification.

This will also mean no Cross-Progression at all between Playstation and PC for the early access period, because keys/supporter packs for both platforms can not be bought on a single sub-account. Since it is either PC only or Playstation only.
Correct?

Do I need to buy separate keys for PC and PS5, I want to play both here and there on EA?

Wait really. You advertise cross platform and progression but basically limit it for 90% because of purchases. Seems like a cheap Cashgrab to get people to pay for the same thing on multiple platforms. Too bad PoE goes down this path. But then again most publishers do these kind of shannanigans nowadays, same with diablo 4. Really thought you guys were different though, but I guess no one is anymore.

Sony is more than likely to blame here. Not GGG as XBOX has no problem what so ever integrating everything. Look at all the stuff I was looking forward to having on my PSN account. It truly is a bummer and I cannot believe Sony just keeps racking up the L's. I've spent hundreds supporting this game because GGG truly is the best there is in the space.
