SMITE: Battleground of the Gods coming to PS4 – Alpha testing starts today

Players on PlayStation 4 will soon have the opportunity to play as a god, as SMITE is coming free-to-play to the console later this year.

Developer Hi-Rez Studios has also announced that their third person MOBA is officially entering closed Alpha testing on the PS4 today, and will go into Closed Beta soon after.

Players can opt in now for a chance to receive a Closed Beta invite in the near future.

Please find a video celebrating the announcement here.

Billed as the Battleground of the Gods, SMITE features over 70 playable gods and mythological creatures from eight different pantheons around the world, all battling for domination across six intense game modes.

Officially launched on PC by Hi-Rez Studios in 2014 and on Xbox One last year, SMITE currently supports a global player community of over 14 million players, which will grow even larger when the game becomes available on PS4. SMITE’s team-based action, third-person controls, and deep roster of playable gods make it an ideal fit for the PS4, where it will become the biggest MOBA game ever to go from PC to PS4.
