Accessing PoE2 through the standalone client without primary login (email)

Hello,

I've never had a separate PoE account outside of Steam so I don't really know how this works. Would I be able to login and play PoE2 through the standalone client (that I can preload) using my Steam credentials? Or should I add another login method to my account? Thanks!

Hey there, As stated in our Early Access FAQ:
"
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.
If your Path of Exile account is already linked to Steam, and your account has been made eligible to participate in Early Access either by purchasing a supporter pack or by receiving a key from another player, you should be able to have access across all PC platforms as quoted above. You may need to visit the page linked to acquire a Steam client key to add the game to your Steam Library. But you can still play via Standalone, Steam, or Epic once they are available to download.

Edit: To more directly answer your question, if you already play through Steam using your Path of Exile account, then yes, you can use the same Game login information to play on standalone.

Same question
When I try to install the standalone client after having already played through steam, it says, the installation just closes after sort of verifying files as if it recognizes that the game is installed already, but I never installed the standalone client yet...

Please can anyone on the GGG team explain how to use/install the standalone client after having played through steam already?
