Smite 2 Is Now Free-to-Play

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

A year in the making, Smite 2, built with Unreal Engine 5, offers a visually enhanced and mechanically refined experience compared to its predecessor. The core gameplay remains: 5v5 battles where players embody gods from various mythologies. However, a revamped item shop allows for greater item flexibility, regardless of god type.

This open beta introduces Aladdin, a brand-new god designed specifically for Smite 2, boasting unique abilities including wall-running and a three-wish revival mechanic. His ultimate involves trapping opponents in a 1v1 duel using his magic lamp.

Key additions in Smite 2's open beta:

• New Gods: Aladdin (unique to Smite 2), Geb, Mulan, Agni, and Ullr.
• Returning Game Mode: The popular 3v3 Joust mode makes a comeback.
• New Map: An Arthurian-themed map.
• Map Updates: Improvements to the Conquest map.
• Game Mode Alpha: An alpha version of the Assault game mode.
• God Aspects: Optional enhancements for select gods.

The developer, Titan Forge Games, has declared Smite 2 superior to the original in several key aspects, thanking players for their alpha feedback. They've also promised ambitious new content releases in 2025. While currently unavailable on Nintendo Switch due to performance concerns, the possibility of a future release on the Switch 2 remains open. Smite fans can download and play the open beta now.
