[PoE2] Should I purchase the early-access packs for each platform?
|
I intend on playng the game on both, my XBSX and on my PC, hopefully together with friends.
I'm wondering if I should purchase the packs for Steam and for Xbox or making a single purchase would be enough? This way I'd have to purchase 4 packs so that my gf and I can play on our consoles and PCs. If I purchase a copy for the xbox, does the game support multiple players on 1 screen like Diablo 3/4 does? Sorry if this question has been answered. I tried searching but couldn't find it. New around here ^^" Last bumped on Dec 4, 2024, 2:07:27 PM

Hi there,
Just to clarify, when you purchase an Early Access Key on PC, this will only unlock Early Access on our Standalone PC Client. PC Players with Early Access can navigate to my-account/early-access to claim a Client Key, which will allow them to download the Path of Exile 2 client on either Steam or Epic Games. When purchasing Early Access from a Console store, this will only unlock Early Access on the Console platform which the purchase was made. If you wish to play Early Access on both Xbox and PC, I'm afraid you will need to purchase Early Access on both platforms. Need help with anything?

Alright. Thanks for the quick reply.
For the console, does the game allow multiple players on 1 screen? For example if my gf and I play with our 2 controllers on a single console on a single TV screen or it doesn't? Just trying to figure out what's the best path forward for me :) I'll likely end up with 2 copies but just wondering how things work. Last edited by Ravenmoon#3912 on Nov 29, 2024, 9:47:03 AM

this is kinda lame btw that i have to buy early access twice.

Yeah I agree. I was thinking I could buy on PC and play on both PC and Xbox....found out after Ive purchase that I would have to buy both....pretty silly for a hgame that will be free when its released and I will be able to play cross-platform then....but not now UNLESS I pay to both platforms. Very silly!

You do get all your money back in terms of in-game currency though. So it's fine. The only downside is that, gamepass is a requirement until games goes F2P sometime next year
