A bit confused... will it launch in early access for free?

[P0MK0NTHA1]

or the free version is only full release which we don't know yet when will that be?

If I want to play in early access, when can I do that?

[Some Idiot17]

To play early access you will have either had to spend $480 during the duration of poe 1, or spend $30 for the supporter pack to get a early access key.

Forgot to include but here is a post explaining a few things about early access

No it's not. Get your facts straight.


"Path of Exile 2 is a next generation free-to-play Action RPG from Grinding Gear Games, featuring co-op for up to six players. Path of Exile 2 takes place in the land of Wraeclast, a dark continent populated by unique cultures, ancient secrets, and monstrous dangers. A sinister threat, long thought destroyed, has begun creeping back on the edge of civilisation, driving people mad and sickening the land with Corruption.

The pre-purchase is for early access. 1.0 will be free.

I obviously don't support this marketing practices.
