MOBA Smite’s Xbox One version enters open beta

Now you can check out that whole multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) craze from the convenience of your couch.

Smite has begun its open beta on Xbox One, meaning anyone can download it from the Xbox One store and play it. Smite is a free-to-play MOBA (a kind of game where two teams of player-controlled heroes try to destroy the other’s base), similar to massive hits League of Legends and Dota 2. However, while those games have top-down views, Smite has a third-person camera. This has helped it transition well to a console control scheme, while League of Legends and Dota 2 are only available on PC.
