A highly anticipated title for the Xbox Series X is currently available for early access and free of charge, but Xbox users must act swiftly to seize this opportunity. The game, Smite 2, isn’t set to officially launch on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S just yet, but fans can get in early through a special offer. Normally, accessing this early version requires a payment of $29.99, yet there is a limited-time workaround for savvy gamers looking to save some cash.
To take advantage of this promotional offer, Xbox users need to possess an active Twitch account. Once that’s set up, they must tune into any livestream of Smite 2 on Twitch that features Twitch drops enabled for a full hour. After completing this viewing session, a unique key for the game will be generated, allowing access to the title on the user’s chosen platform.
To claim the free game key, navigate to the Drops Inventory Page on Twitch. After securing the key, it’s crucial to connect the Twitch account with your Smite 2 account. Once linked, users should scroll down on the Smite 2 linking page to locate their Twitch account and click “show codes” to reveal the key. Selecting the relevant platform will allow gamers to input this key into the Microsoft Store, therefore initiating the download, granting them the freedom to enjoy the game at their leisure.
The mystery free Xbox game that players are excited about is none other than Smite 2, which was officially announced in January of this year. While an exact release date for the full version remains under wraps, players can dive into early access now. Typically, gaining entry to this version incurs a cost of $29.99, making this limited-time opportunity particularly appealing.
For those unfamiliar with the franchise, Smite 2 serves as the successor to the highly successful Smite, which debuted in 2014. Developed by Titan Forge Games in collaboration with Hi-Rez Studios, the sequel retains its roots as a third-person multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game, continuing the legacy of its predecessor.
“Become a god and wage war in Smite 2, the Unreal Engine 5-powered sequel to the legendary third-person action MOBA,” an official statement about the game proclaims. “If you love challenging competition, intense action, ability-driven combat, rewarding teamwork, or godly mythology, you’ll understand why over 40 million players adore Smite.”
