Smite developers Hi-Rez Studios announced today that the Xbox One version of the game will be playable (albeit in a pre-release build) at the upcoming Smite World Championship.
Smite's Latest Patch Added One New Goddess And Retooled Two More
SWC officially kicks off on January 9 in Atlanta, and anyone who shows up in person will have the chance to get their hands on an Xbox One controller and take the Smite console version out for a spin. The game will be set up in a special area of the venue. Fans of the game who are stuck watching the championship on Twitch will still have a chance to see the game in action on the event's opening day.
Smite World Championship is the final showdown for the top Smite teams from across the globe. North America, Europe and China are solidly represented, as are Brazil and the Spanish-speaking portion of Latin America. The tournament's prize pool has been slowing building for months now, as proceeds from specially marked, in-game "Odyssey" item sales have all been funneled into the pot. Thanks to this crowd-funding approach to prizes, the Smite prize pool currently sits around $1.7 million, and there is still time to increase that amount.
