In short, while some games have a scheme of "pre-order" or "pay extra" to get early access, the free-to-play Arena Breakout: Infinite is shifting towards promoting their dedicated game client by making the global early access exclusive to it.
Thankfully, there are no data wipes or any limits to the early access launch of Arena Breakout: Infinite, so we are expecting that you will be able to continue your game progress on Steam when the game gets a final release through your registered account that you use to play the game via the dedicated client/launcher.
