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 after its initial 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 greater flexibility. The core gameplay remains familiar: players choose gods from diverse mythologies to engage in 5v5 battles.
This open beta introduces a wealth of new content:
- Aladdin: A brand-new god, exclusive to Smite 2, with unique wall-running and revival mechanics.
- Additional Gods: Geb (Egyptian), Mulan (Chinese), Agni (Hindu), and Ullr (Norse) join the roster.
- Joust Mode's Return: The popular 3v3 mode makes a comeback.
- New Map: An Arthurian-themed map adds a fresh environment.
- Conquest & Assault Updates: Existing modes receive updates and refinements.
- Aspects: Optional enhancements for select gods.
The creative director at Titan Forge Games has declared Smite 2 superior to its predecessor in many aspects. The team expressed gratitude for the community feedback gathered during the closed alpha and promised ambitious new content for 2025.
While available on most major platforms, Smite 2 is currently absent from the Nintendo Switch due to performance concerns. However, Titan Forge remains open to a potential release on the Switch 2. For now, players on other platforms can dive into the free open beta.
