Titan Forge Games has launched SMITE 2 as a free-to-play game, marking the end of its Closed Alpha stage. In conjunction with a significant patch to update the game, SMITE 2 is now available for all players to download for free on PS5, Xbox Series, PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, as well as on Steam Deck.
SMITE 2 has undergone rapid cycles of implementing gameplay improvements over the Closed Alpha period, with the development team working diligently to take on board player feedback. Thanks to re-focusing efforts on bringing existing Gods to SMITE 2, the playable lineup of Gods now totals 45. The team aims to bring every player’s favorite to the sequel as quickly as possible.

“It’s amazing to look back on how far SMITE 2 has come since the early prototypes a little over 2 years ago,” said Travis Brown, General Manager and Creative Director at Titan Forge Games.
“We couldn’t have gotten here without the invaluable feedback from the SMITE fanbase throughout Alpha, and the game is now objectively better than its predecessor in so many different areas. We have ambitious content plans for 2025, which are bound to excite our players for the future of SMITE 2.”
The latest gods added to SMITE 2
The patch adds 5 new Gods to the playable roster, including the latest God developed for SMITE 2 from the ground up, Aladdin.
Aladdin joins SMITE 2 as a part of the ‘Tales of Arabia’ Pantheon. Developed completely on Unreal Engine 5, the new God brings unique mechanics to the game. Aladdin is a highly mobile God thanks to his ability to run along walls and structures. His companion, the Genie, grants him three powerful wishes throughout the game, including a chance for revival upon death. Aladdin’s ultimate ability allows him to use his Lamp to capture enemies in a one-on-one challenge.
Four further Gods have been added to SMITE 2 with the free-to-play patch, including Geb, the Egyptian God of Earth, and Mulan, the Chinese Ascendant Warrior. Agni comes to the game representing the Hindu Pantheon, while Ullr from the Norse Pantheon rounds out the long list of new playable Gods.
What else does the latest patch include?
The patch also adds ‘Joust’, the fan-favorite 3v3 game mode that focuses on fast-paced, small-scale combat, along with a brand new Arthurian-themed map. It also includes significant updates to the Conquest map and features, along with an alpha version of the Assault game mode.
Additionally, a new optional enhancement has been added to some gods in the form of Aspects. These are intended to bring fun new ways of playing the same gods by focusing on one or two clear components of a god kit rather than hitting every ability in small ways.
SMITE 2 is available to download for free on Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox, and the Epic Games Store starting today.
