I have a few questions...

I've played PoE1 and 2 on Xbox. I recently started playing PoE1 on PC.

I have an account for Xbox and an account for Steam.

I have purchased stash tabs on Xbox for PoE2.

My questions are:

1. Is there a way to connect my Xbox and Steam accounts so I can play with my Xbox Characters on Steam or are they forever separate?

2. If linking is possible, can I share my Xbox stash tabs with my Steam Account?

3. If they are forever separate, it's it required for me to buy an Early Access key for PC to play Path of Exile 2?

All answers will be helpful! Thank you.
