Will Steam supporter pack work on PS5?

[TheBigRedMachine]

Hey fellow exiles. I want to ask if I buy an Early access supporter pack here on steam, will I be able to use it on my Ps5? As I read on the news the Ps5 Packs will only be available on the same day of EA launch as Dec 6th?

Also I read somewhere that our EA characters will be stuck in the EA league and won't be moved to the standard league, can someone explain what's bad about this and how does this affect new player? Does that mean I have to start over once the game fully launches?

I do not know if the Access itself will work but they said that all MTX are not cross-platform for PlayStation only because of Sony's decision.

yes your characters will be stuck in EA league after 1.0 hits. it doesnt really matter, this game is no MMO.
99% of people play it for the leagues so they have to start over every 3 months anyways.

its difficult to explain if you never played path of exile or diablo before, but its not a bad thing

Think of it like legacy character with legacy gear. Stuff that might not be newly acquirable can be available in that league.

It might be insanely good gear that's available there or it might be utterly outdated in terms of power. So you may want to get some gear and currency there, as well as dedicating some character slots to it. As in creating one character of each class there, should there ever arise a positively imbalanced build opportunity from the gear with early balance values. This is basically a missable possible opportunity.

On the other hand, the seasonality probably means it'll not be a well populated league after launch or at least some time after.
