Smite Now Goes Free: Play for Free

Smite 2's open beta is now live and free-to-play on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC (via Epic Games Store and Steam), and Steam Deck. This launch coincides with a significant content update from Titan Forge Games.

A year after its initial reveal, Smite 2, built using Unreal Engine 5, delivers a refined MOBA experience. Improvements include enhanced visuals, revamped combat mechanics, and a redesigned item shop offering broader item choices regardless of god type. Gameplay retains the core 5v5 battles featuring gods from diverse mythologies.

This open beta introduces Aladdin, a brand-new god designed specifically for Smite 2, boasting unique wall-running and revival abilities. His ultimate ability involves a lamp-based 1v1 capture. The update also includes:

• Five new gods: Aladdin, Geb (Egyptian), Mulan (Chinese), Agni (Hindu), and Ullr (Norse).
• The return of Joust: The popular 3v3 mode makes a comeback.
• A new Arthurian map: A fresh battleground joins the roster.
• Conquest and Assault updates: Existing maps and modes receive improvements.
• God Aspects: Optional enhancements for select gods.

Titan Forge Games' creative director highlights Smite 2's superior gameplay compared to its predecessor, crediting player feedback from the closed alpha for shaping the open beta. The developer promises ambitious new content for 2025.

While available on major platforms, Smite 2 is currently absent from the Nintendo Switch due to performance concerns. However, Titan Forge Games remains open to a potential release on the Switch 2. Smite fans can download and play the open beta now.
