SMITE 2 is officially free-to-play!
Whether you've been playing SMITE for years or just now hearing about it, this is the perfect time to check out SMITE 2. The sequel keeps everything that made the original fun while bringing in better graphics, fresh gameplay, and a mix of new and updated gods to play.
Thanks to Unreal Engine 5, SMITE 2 looks better than ever. The characters are super detailed, the maps feel more alive, and the overall experience is just smoother. Best of all, the game is completely free-to-play now—no need to buy a Founder's Edition. You can grab it right now on Steam, the Epic Games Store, or your console marketplace.
New and Old Gods
To celebrate its free-to-play launch, SMITE 2 is adding five new gods, bringing the total roster to 45. The latest addition is Aladdin, a Magical Assassin from the Tales of Arabia. Plus, popular gods like Ullr and Mulan have been reworked with new abilities and mechanics, making them feel fresh and different from before.
Game Modes and New Features
The open beta includes six main game modes, including:
- Conquest – Classic 5v5 battles
- Joust – Smaller, faster 3v3 fights
- Assault – A single-lane mode with random gods
A big new feature in SMITE 2 is Aspects, which lets you change how a god plays. Before each match, you can pick the normal version of a god or activate an Aspect, which tweaks some of their abilities and gives you new ways to play. This adds a ton of variety to every match.
If you've been waiting to try SMITE 2, now's the time. The game is free, packed with new content, and available on all major platforms.
