If you want to play in SMITE 2’s Closed Alpha, the best way to guarantee access is to buy a Founder’s Edition. To do this, you can navigate to the SMITE 2 store page on your favorite platform (Steam, Epic, Xbox, PSN) and purchase your favorite Founder’s Edition. You can also request a Key for SMITE 2, for a chance to be granted free access to the game.

After that, the game will be added to your library! On Steam, it will be listed as "SMITE 2 Public Test"


During the Alpha period we are using the Founder’s Edition as a way to test our Cross-Gen content system.

To use the Nightstalker Neith or The Fallen Zeus in SMITE 2 Alpha, you must:

• Purchase a SMITE 2 Founder’s Edition containing the skin
  
• Log in to SMITE 1 after making your purchase
  
• Link your SMITE 1 account to your SMITE 2 account in-game in SMITE 1, on the Divine Legacy page (Linking via the Divine Legacy Page ensures all your owned Cross-Gen Skins in SMITE 1 will be available in SMITE 2)
  
• Log in to SMITE 2 on the same platform
  
• Once SMITE 2 enters Beta, players will be able to access the Founder’s Edition content in SMITE 2 immediately after purchasing without the need to first log into SMITE 1.

All players will be able to use Cacodemon 2 Ymir during the Alpha period, but it will be restricted to Founder’s Edition purchasers once SMITE 2 enters Beta. Badges, Titles, and Ascension Passes are expected to become available in SMITE 2 when the title reaches Beta.

If you have SMITE 2 game access on multiple platforms, you can also link your accounts to take advantage of Cross-Progression! Check out our Linking FAQ[www.smite2.com] for full details, or check out this video for a step-by-step guide.
