Hi-Rez’s long-term plans to support SMITE on Xbox One include monthly new God releases, updates to content and gameplay, and UI updates including multiple language support, spectate support and much more. Smite is already a popular game on Windows 8.1 PCs, now it is making its way to Xbox One. It comes with every god now in the game, all future gods, 400 Gems, the exclusive Ares “Soldier of Fortune” skin, and the limited Ymir “Cacodemon X” skin. MOBAs have historically been a PC-only genre, but SMITEs action oriented gameplay is a great fit with the Xbox One controller. SMITE players can also merge accounts between PC and Xbox One until August 31st. The servers are now back online with maintenance being complete and now you can start playing this game on your Xbox One console. Featuring a rich and continually expanding pantheon of playable gods, SMITE offers a third-person camera that pulls players directly into the action.
