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 major patch introducing significant new content.
A year after its announcement, Smite 2, built with Unreal Engine 5, delivers a refined MOBA experience. Boasting enhanced visuals and combat mechanics, it also features a revamped item shop offering broader item choices regardless of god classification. Gameplay retains the core 5v5 team battles and god-based character selection of its predecessor.
This open beta introduces Aladdin, a brand-new god designed specifically for Smite 2, possessing unique wall-running and revival abilities. His ultimate ability involves capturing enemies for a 1v1 duel. Additional gods joining the roster include Geb (Egyptian), Mulan (Chinese), Agni (Hindu), and Ullr (Norse).
The popular 3v3 Joust mode returns, alongside a new Arthurian-themed map and updates to the Conquest map. An alpha version of the Assault game mode is also included, plus new "Aspects" – optional enhancements for select gods.

Titan Forge Games' creative director has declared Smite 2 superior to its predecessor in several key aspects, thanking players for their valuable feedback during the closed alpha. Ambitious new content is promised for 2025. While currently unavailable on Nintendo Switch due to performance concerns, the developer remains open to a potential release on the Switch 2.
