Poe2 early access PS5

Hello exiles,

First of all if some questions where answered - please provide a source if possible, unless answer comes directly from GGG.

1. As we know MTX between PC and PS5 are not usable due to PlayStation greedy hands. But what about stash tabs? Are they considered as MTX and same rules applies to them as well?
2. Will PlayStation plus a.k.a. multiplayer will be required for full release or early access?
3. Can we get a PS5 EA key directly from Poe website? Because as I understand PlayStation has these idiotic restrictions for MTX due to their greed since there is no problem with XBOX. As far as I know PlayStation takes a % for each transaction. If so I would like to avoid giving them their cut for GGG product, and support GGG directly.

PC:
1. As I understand right now there is a issue with steam keys, their are out of stock. If we purchase supporter pack for EA is it guaranteed that we will receive steam key before the release?
1.2 Or will we have to use in such case direct client until key is provided?
1.3 If so will direct client be also available for early download same as in steam?

General:
Do points are shared between PlayStation and PC? Or they are split as well? What I mean by that if I purchase 60USD supporter pack on PC, and 60 USD supporter pack on PlayStation. Both platforms / accounts are linked of course. Will I have in total 1200 points, and can spend them where ever I want, or 600 on each platform?

Hi there,

Regarding Stash Tabs originally purchased on PlayStation, these will be marked as "Remove Only" when attempting to use them on other platforms.

Regarding PS+, as per this post from Alex:

Hi.
You will not need the subscription to play the game or play in party. It's going to be the same as PoE1.


I'm afraid in order to play on PlayStation you will have to purchase the Early Access key from the PlayStation Store. Purchasing an Early Access key from our website will automatically grant you access to our Path of Exile 2 Standalone Client on PC. These keys are not transferrable to PlayStation.

Regarding issues distributing Steam Client Keys, this is an issue we are currently aware of and our team is looking into further, you may want to keep an eye on your Early Access page for the Steam Key to be claimable again.

Regarding when the client will be available for download, as per our Path of Exile 2 Early Access FAQ:
"
When will I be able to download the client?
A few days prior to the Early Access launch. We’ll announce the details in the news, so you won’t miss it!

Thanks for clear answers, it solved all my doubts, will remain a on PC. Have a great weekend.
Everything is clear with Sony's policy, but does it work the same way in the opposite direction?

That is, if I initially buy a game for PS 5, will I need to buy a PC game separately to have early access, or will Sony's access be enough?
I did not understood the direct.
But if you want to play EA on PC and PS5 then you need 2 EA keys. 1 for PS5, and 1 for PC.

All MTX with Stash tabs - are not shared between PS5 and PC both ways. The only thing that is shared between PS5 and PC is character & its progression, but not stash tabs and not MTX'es.
