Hi-Rez Studios today announced that its free-to-play action MOBA game, SMITE, the online Battleground of the Gods, will enter open beta testing on Xbox One on Wednesday, July 8, 2015.
All Xbox One users will be able to download and play SMITE for free directly through the Xbox Games Store or by visiting www.SmiteGame.com/Xbox.
Open beta will lead up to the official launch of SMITE for Xbox One later this year.
As SMITE’s open beta commences, closed beta players can expect a seamless transition without data wipes of presently earned Gods, currency, achievements, and more.
Xbox One owners who wish to join SMITE’s currently ongoing closed beta can still do so by signing up at www.SmiteGame.com/Xbox, or by purchasing the SMITE Founder’s Pack, available now for $29.99 on the Xbox Games Store.
The Founder’s Pack confers immediate beta access, ownership of every existing and future God in the game, 400 Gems, and two exclusive God skins in one incredible bundle.
SMITE players who wish to carry over select progress and purchased items from their PC accounts to Xbox One will be able to do so with a one-time Account Merge option. For more details on this process, check out SMITE’s Xbox One Account Merge FAQ.
