How to play the Smite 2 Alpha: all available platforms and sign up process, explained

With Smite 2 just announced, there’s already going to be an Alpha that people can play. If you want in on the action, here’s your chance. Here’s how to play the Smite 2 Alpha, along with platform availability and more.

How to sign up for the Smite 2 Alpha

To sign up for the Smite 2 Alpha, head on over to smite2.com and click “Register for Alpha”. On mobile devices, the option is in the middle of the screen. On PC, it’s on the top right of the website’s display page.

Follow the directions on the screen such as what platform you want to play it on, enter your email, and obviously, state that you are over 13 years of age. Upon entering those details, you should get a message that reads “Thank you for registering for the Smite 2 Alpha. We will be in touch soon!”

There doesn’t seem to be an email you’ll receive for confirmation right away. The FAQ on the site simply states that you’ll get an email with a code “when access is granted.”

What platforms will Smite 2 and the Alpha be on?

Right now, the game will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Epic Games. Since Smite 2 is looking to be a proper “next-gen native title”, that means that eighth-generation consoles like the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are not included.

There is no word on anything regarding the Nintendo Switch either. With lots of speculation of Nintendo having new hardware in 2024, that is all still up in the air. As of right now, Nintendo Switch players cannot participate in the upcoming Alpha for Smite 2.

When will the Smite 2 Alpha come out?

There isn’t an exact release date for the Alpha yet, but the devs are aiming for a release sometime in the Spring. Do not expect a fully finished product or a huge roster either.
