Smite 2: Free-to-Play Revolution Arrives
Smite 2's open beta is now live and free-to-play on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC (via Steam and Epic Games Store), and Steam Deck. This launch coincides with a significant content update from Titan Forge Games.
A year after its reveal, Smite 2, built with 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 classification. The core gameplay remains true to its predecessor: 5v5 battles featuring gods from diverse mythologies.
The open beta introduces substantial new content:
- Aladdin: A brand-new god, exclusive to Smite 2, with unique wall-running and revival mechanics.
- Returning Favorite: Joust: The popular 3v3 mode makes a comeback.
- New Gods: Geb (Egyptian), Mulan (Chinese), Agni (Hindu), and Ullr (Norse) join the roster, alongside Aladdin.
- New Map: An Arthurian-themed map adds a fresh battleground.
- Map Updates: The Conquest map receives improvements.
- Assault (Alpha): An alpha version of the Assault game mode is included.
- God Aspects: Optional enhancements for select gods.
The creative director at Titan Forge Games has stated that Smite 2 surpasses its predecessor in several key aspects. The team expressed gratitude for player feedback gathered during the closed alpha, and promised ambitious new content releases in 2025.
While available on most major platforms, Smite 2 is currently absent from the Nintendo Switch due to performance concerns. However, the developers remain open to a potential release on the Nintendo Switch 2. Smite fans can now experience the open beta across supported platforms.
