Is the key Steam Exclusive?

[Chii Heartbeat]

If I buy the early access pack on steam, can I have access to the non-steam platforms?

[space]

i tried redeeming it on steam and it said "you already own this product" so i can only assume it's steam only

[Chii Heartbeat]

Can I play the game off-steam? Like by downloading from the path of exile 2 official website, if I bought it on steam?

If you buy from steam will resive Steam Client Key and Epic Client Key.
Not sure about standalone ggg client.Mb youl have to contact poe support to open acces for your standalone account.

i don't see any epic client key in my poe account, only steam

[The Chosen One]

resive? Receive you mean? No way you'll get an epic key from Steam. :D
Steam will provide a Steamkey, I know really odd. ;p

The dev's often themselves can get "free" steamkeys from Steam obviously which they can e.g. give to reviewers and such. But they won't give those away en masse obviously since you get sell those to others.

How to share PoE2 charaters from Steam/PC Account with Xbox/console account ?

- Does the registration for PoE2 EA need a PoE2 "specific" account (different from the Steam account/email) ?

- Do the PoE2 account on Xbox (on Xbox console) is different from Xbox/Ms Account of the console ?

No, the way it works it GGG enables the EA on your account and they give you a steam key too , if you give that key to a friend that doesn't have the EA enabled on their account , they can't play the Poe2 EA
"Please note these keys only unlock the client in your library, they do not on their own provide early access to your account."

Yes. Path of Exile 2 characters can be played across any platform.

Many thanks FloRyu !

Still not very clear for me after reading these 2 links...

I have understand that I can buy on Steam my EA pack for PoE2 (to play PoE2 on Steam).

If I want to play also PoE2 EA on Xbox console (and share my charaters with Steam) :

1) Do I have to have the same Xbox account (email) than the one used on Steam ?

2) Do I have to "merge" these Poe2-Steam account and Xbox-PoE2 account ?

It's not clear for me, the right method to use to buy EA packs for PoE2 to have access to my characters on Steam AND Xbox :
- needs only to have the same email/account on both platforms ?
(seems not possible)
- PoE2 SITE account (GGG) is different from Steam-PoE2 account ?
Other method ?

Sorry, maybe I'am too stupid...

I wonder if you get a key for all three platforms on PC regardless of the store you bought it from. Looking at the official FAQ here:
https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3587981
"If you have purchased a key and/or have access granted for one PC game client (Stand-alone, Steam, or Epic), but wish to play on another game client, you will be able to do so by claiming a key to unlock access to that client. These are available at my-account/early-access and can be redeemed on the relevant platform's store. Please note these keys only unlock the client in your library, they do not on their own provide early access to your account."
