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 announcement, Smite 2, powered by Unreal Engine 5, delivers a refined MOBA experience. Visuals and combat are enhanced, and the item shop is revamped for improved accessibility. Gameplay retains the core 5v5 battles featuring gods from diverse mythologies, but with significant improvements. The closed alpha phase has concluded, making the game accessible to all.
This open beta introduces substantial new content:
- Aladdin: A brand-new god designed specifically for Smite 2, boasting unique wall-running and revival mechanics.
- Five New Gods: In addition to Aladdin, Geb (Egyptian), Mulan (Chinese), Agni (Hindu), and Ullr (Norse) join the roster.
- Joust's Return: The popular 3v3 mode makes a comeback.
- New Map: An Arthurian-themed map debuts.
- Conquest & Assault Updates: The Conquest map receives updates, and an alpha version of the Assault 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 numerous aspects. The team expressed gratitude for the alpha feedback and promised ambitious content releases for 2025.
While available on major platforms, Smite 2 is currently unavailable for Nintendo Switch due to performance concerns. However, the developer remains open to a potential release on the Nintendo Switch 2. Smite fans can now enjoy the open beta across all supported platforms.
