'Smite' (ALL) Enters Closed Beta On Xbox One, Acct Transfer Details - Trailer

Smite is a free-to-play online battleground between gods where players choose from a selection of mythical gods, join session-based arena combat, and use custom powers and team tactics against other player-controlled gods and non-player controlled minions.

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Smite is similar to DotA games but with a few significant changes including a third-person perspective and WASD movement.

Smite features a rich and constantly growing pantheon of playable Gods, expertly tuned to a variety of combat styles, with an engaging third-person camera that brings players right into the action. The game rewards fast reflexes, strategic thinking and teamwork, offering a variety of different modes to suit a range of player tastes, from traditional 5v5 multi-lane battles to smaller, single-path jousts and wide-open arenas.

Hi-Rez Studios' action MOBA game Smite has entered its closed beta testing phase on Xbox One.

As Smite readies for a full launch later this year, players who have taken part in the alpha phase or have been selected for closed beta will be treated to a host of new updates, features, content and Xbox One exclusives that deliver a complete experience competitively designed for console play.

Smite’s in-game marketplace is now live on Xbox One, allowing players to buy Gems, Smite’s in-game currency, to acquire new Gods, cosmetic skins and more. Players can also now purchase the SMITE Founder’s Pack, which provides instant access to the closed beta. The bundle retails for GBP £20.99/EUR €23.99 and features almost double that amount in content, including: every God currently in the game (63 so far) and all Gods still to come in the future; 400 Gems; and two exclusive skins - Ares “Soldier of War” and the Limited Ymir “Cacodemon X” skin. The Founder’s Pack is only available for a limited time and will be discontinued when the game launches on Xbox One later this year. All purchases, progress and achievements earned in closed beta will transfer seamlessly into the launch version.

Hi-Rez Studios is also offering PC players a one-time account merge option to copy select progress and items from their Smite PC accounts to their Xbox One accounts. Players who choose to link their accounts will receive a free Zeus Xbox skin for both platforms. For more information about the process, as well as the Founder’s Pack, check out the Founder’s Pack and Account Transfer FAQ.

Players can still sign up for Smite closed beta access on Xbox One.
