Path of Exile 2 Steam key not available

If you've purchased the Path of Exile 2 early access and are trying to use your Steam key for it, then it might not be available. Grinding Gear Games, the title's developer, is aware of this issue. On social media, the team noted that the Path of Exile 2 website is down. Therefore, folks cannot claim their Steam keys yet.

"We're aware of players being unable to claim their Steam keys due to the Path of Exile website being down," the post stated. "Our website team currently has this as their top priority and have a plan of action to restore this service to allow you to play the game! A huge thanks for the grace being displayed by those affected."

The post was made on X just hours after the early access launch of Path of Exile 2. Since its official release on Dec. 6 at 11 a.m. PST, many players have faced difficulties entering the game, including long queue times due to record player numbers and an issue causing multiple characters to share the same ID. Luckily, the character ID issue has since been fixed.
