Hi-Rez Studios today released SMITE, the mythology-themed, free-to-play action MOBA, on Steam. SMITE has developed a community of over 10 million players since it launched through its own proprietary service on PC last year, and this Steam release aims to make the title more accessible to a broader array of gamers.
Todd Harris, co-founder and COO of Hi-Rez Studios, said:
“The time is right for SMITE on Steam. The platform has evolved to include more quality free-to-play titles and, most importantly, better ways for users to discover them. Now is the best time yet to see what SMITE is all about, and we’re excited to make it even easier for the more than 125 million active users worldwide who call Steam home to dive in for free.”
SMITE on Steam supports seamless server integration with the game’s original PC infrastructure, allowing both communities to queue and play together simultaneously.
Existing SMITE PC users who wish to play the game on Steam can do so by simply installing SMITE from within Steam and logging into the game with their Hi-Rez account, with no account migration required.
SMITE blends the team-based tactics of traditional MOBAs with a thrilling third-person perspective that emphasizes expert skill shots and pulls players right into the action.
“It features a rich and constantly growing pantheon of playable gods, as well as a variety of gameplay modes with which to do battle.”

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
