Question About Keys:

[Laserian]

the PoE 2 Early Access says : This key can be redeemed on the Steam store.

Please note this key only unlocks the client in your library, it will not provide early access to your account and should not be given away.

I am Pre-loading the Client in Steam right now, without having to enter any Key.. should I just hang on to this key or do I need to use it later?

the steam key will only unlock the steam client and WONT grant access to the game itself

so you need to make sure that your POE ACCOUNT have beta access

You won't need it if you're already pre-loading.
It's basically just the install disc for Early Access. - If you bought it through GGG
-EDIT if through steam, that is your own key that was auto-redeemed already. (Thanks KingOfThings)

Which you can't do anything with unless you've bought a pack on steam, or a pack on GGGs website with a POE account which is connected to steam.

-Not to be confused with the extra keys you get from the expensive supporter packs.

Purchased the 30$ starter, simply to get into the game come tomorrow.

I'm going to assume you bought beta access through Steam with a Supporter Pack, like I did.
From my understanding that is the key that is already activated on Steam when you purchased the pack. So just hold onto it and don't share it because it is NOT an extra key.
