Titan Forge Games have announced that SMITE 2 is going free to play on January 14, after their paid-for Early Access period comes to a close. The game will still be in Early Access just open for everyone. It currently has a Steam Deck Playable rating, and appears to work well on Desktop Linux with Proton.
The announcement was short and to the point simply noting:
SMITE 2 is going FREE TO PLAY on January 14!
- 45 Gods
- Joust & Duel
- Assault Alpha
- and SO MUCH MORE!
Mark your calendars and get ready to enter into the next era of the Battleground of the Gods!
I would have thought they would be making a bigger splash about it, not even a new trailer or anything. It probably hasn't hit the level the publisher Hi-Rez Studios was hoping for. It only usually regularly seeing around 1,600 concurrent players, which is tiny for a MOBA. Perhaps the free to play release will see it surge.

More about it: "SMITE 2 is the easiest MOBA to start playing, with features like auto-build and auto-level so you focus on fighting. But the full depth of MOBA gameplay awaits, letting you find your own path to victory across item building, map control, tactical brilliance, or simply outplaying your foes. Compete in a variety of game modes, including Ranked, where you’ll climb the leaderboards and become a true god in the SMITE 2 community."
