A quesiton on Path of Exile 2 Early Access Key

[{§*Phenomenom*'§}]

If I buy the supporter pack on their site or on Steam, will I actually be able to play right away? Or am I misunderstanding something?

Nope, starts on the 6th December.

No it's going into early access on the 6th dec, early access requires a key. It's going free 6 months to a year from now no ETA.

You need the EA key to play the EA content. If you don't want to pay and play for free you would have to wait for about a year until the release the full game. I hope that answers your question.

It seems like a smart move to have people play the game like a traditional 'Buy to Play' product, while still maintaining the F2P label...

Anyway, thanks guys

Yeh they probably should change how it's labelled atleast for EA. But it's minor error as it will be f2p on release.

Its all on the FAQ...

When does Early Access start on all platforms?
Path of Exile 2 will launch in Early Access at 11am December 6th PST in your local time on all supported platforms, including a standalone PC client, Steam and Epic Games Store clients as well as Xbox Series and PlayStation 5.

Unfortunately Path of Exile 2 will not be available on MacOS at the start of Early Access, but we’re keen to add support for this platform as soon as possible.

How to join Early Access?
Purchasing one of new Early Access Supporter Packs with a key grants you access.

As we have also announced earlier, if you've purchased a top-tier supporter pack in the past or have spent $480 USD or more in lifetime purchases in Path of Exile on a single platform, you'll automatically have access to Path of Exile 2. In this case you'll receive an email (if we have one for you) and PM on the website that lets you know that your account has had access granted. We will begin inviting players in the next two weeks. Please note that the threshold is the same for all countries and does not take regional prices into account.


How long is Early Access likely to run for?
As long as needed, we expect at least 6 months.

By the time it officially releases, everyone who's actually interested will already have a working account.

Mainly yeh, but will always be people that are unsure and will jump in once it goes free.
