Smite 2 has just popped up on Steam, and has already soared all the way up to the platform’s Top Sellers list. The game has yet to get its initial release date. It doesn’t even have an open beta available. This surge of interest comes entirely through pre-ordered founders packs.
There are three of these founders packages in total – the founders edition, the deluxe founders edition, and the ultimate founders edition – which range from $30 to $100 in value. While the game will be free-to-play on launch, the basic pack will get you all the Smite 2 Gods (characters) forever, some exclusive cosmetics, as well as a 2x bonus to any legacy gems you bring over from the original Smite.
As for the higher tiers, they provide additional skins and cosmetics as well as ascension passes (which are basically paid-for progression passes for individual Gods). All these, which don’t even ensure access to the game’s alpha nor beta tests, were enough to supercharge Smite 2’s sudden ascent to the top of the Top Sellers charts.
