I have a couple questions. I bought early access on pc. I'm getting my wife EA on the PS5. Do I have to purchase EA on the PS5 as well or will I be able to log in since it's on the console and my accounts are synced? Also do my stash tabs transfer to the ps5 version as well? I saw something about them being remove only and how does that work with Guild Stash Tabs?

So:

1. You will be able to play on you pc and your wife on PS5 at the same time. You will need to find her and her you probably using your ids ingame.

2. You cant transfer anything to the PS5 version since Sony(and MS for that matter) has blocked the transfer of MTX etc to POE2. You will need to buy them for your wife on PS5.

3. Guild stash etc. will not be able to transfer to POE2 regardless of what platform you are on for one reason or another ATM.

4. Stash tabs will not be filled they are totally separate from POE1 and POE2.

You never get preload on Steam for Early Access games. It's a Steam thing not GGG.

If that's the case why are we able to pre-load Marvel Rivals on steam right now? Makes no sense. Most likely 24hrs before like any other big game; we will get to pre-load on steam. So relax everyone

Marvel Rivals is not "early access", it is "preorder".

If you baught the early acess on steam you are fucked to use the POE client coz there is no key to reedim you have to play thru stream so that's the fuckery, if i knew before i wouldnt have baught it on steam.

No need to despair. If you go over to https://www.pathofexile.com/my-account/connections you can link your Steam account with your PathOfExile account, and you will be able to download and play on the standalone version.
I think this has been mentioned atleast 4 times so far in this thread, so if you would take the time to read through the thread you would know this by now.

I still expect the download to become avaliable on Steem ahead of time also.
GGG have probably not decided 100% on the time that will happen yet, but it is entirely up to GGG as early access versions of games can be securly distributed by Steam in an encrypted state.

I noticed we had to sign a new agreement today at login to PoE account, so I am confident they just want to ensure that they can go after the people that leaks information adead of launch if they are stupid enough to do so.

GGG will update this thread onse they have decided on a time for predownload on Steam.

See all you exiles in the dark forest of Ogham soon.

What number on the countdown clock will the client be able to be downloaded?

When the counter is at 18 hours you should be good to go.
The original post has the time both in (PST) timezone, and in your local time.

Why do people respond with useless crap to xlog up the forum?

Anyway, I don't like the sound of "should go live." I'm worried Sony PS5 players are going to get the raw end of this deal with the way your account system and their account system has to be linked in order for us to even see the supporter pack that we need to purchase.

Only having the microtransactions available inside the game was a horrible idea. Is there any future plans to have the supporter packs and microtransactions listed outside of the game,for instance in the Sony store, so we can buy them somewhere else?

Having to go home to log into my character, to cycle through the slow mtx in game menu in POE1 just to have it push me out of the game to the Sony store anyway was needlessly tedious
