Smite 2 officially entered its free-to-play open beta on January 14, 2025, across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC[1][2][3][4][5]. This beta release is fully accessible to all players, and includes significant gameplay content, such as 45 Gods and several modes, marking it as a major milestone while still being technically labeled as an open beta[2][5]. A formal 1.0 (full) launch date has not been officially announced, but the gaming community and press expect the complete release to occur sometime later in 2025 as additional updates and features are rolled out[1][2].
The open beta state in early 2025 follows both a closed alpha and limited preview periods, making January 14, 2025, the first day that Smite 2 became widely available at no cost[2][3][4]. Players can expect ongoing updates, new gods, and other content leading up to and even following the official version 1.0 launch later in the year[1][5].
