POE2 Early Access for PC - Is Steam Required?

"
Your account is eligible for Path of Exile 2 Early Access! Thank you for your (or your benevolent friend's) support!
Path of Exile 2 Steam Client Key
This key is available to claim, click the button below to access your key.

Bump I do not use steam, but it is the only option clickable.


Hopefully "is eligible for" means "currently has access to", and not "ya still gotta claim one of the keys below".

A GGG clarification would be great.

Same here. PoE1 player that got early access due to past purchases, only to find out it is a Steam/Epic key and on Steam PoE is region locked for me (Hong Kong).

Edit:
From the FAQ (https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3587981 under "When will I be able to download the client?") the client will be available for download a few days before EA launch.

same here, I received the lifetime key but it says that it is only for the steam client so I don't understand if it will also be valid for the standalone client or they will be 2 distinct and separate things, my client has always been the standalone and I don't want to start use steam now for poe2, in any case I will wait for them to release the official client
Claim Key is just to install the client on said gaming platform, standalone client will be available next week I believe, and as long as your account has access to it you won't need anything else

Congratulation to all of you who got the notification already, and for the rest who didn't keep waiting, it should appear if you are indeed elegible if not... buy a kiwi! :D
Can confirm, I have received key to enable client in library.

HOW TO ENABLE:
Open your Steam client and on lower left corner of the screen, while you are in library view, press ADD A GAME => ACTIVATE A PRODUCT ON STEAM and paste the KEY you received here.

Enjoy!
steam said the item isn't available in my country yet, guess I'll have to wait a while then

There will be the standalone client so no steam required
Mine clearly says it:

"Your account is eligible for Path of Exile 2 Early Access! Thank you for your (or your benevolent friend's) support!

Your account will be allowed to log in and play during Path of Exile 2 Early Access.


You can download and play on the standalone client once it becomes available.

Your Early Access also includes keys to play on Steam or Epic which can be claimed below."
