We’re excited to begin Beta testing for SMITE on Macintosh OS X! You can start playing right away as a Mac user if you have a steam account. Simply login and search for SMITE, then download for Mac.
No, they are the same player base. You will still need a Hi-Rez account to play, even from a Steam installation.
Do I need to make a new account?
Only new players will need to create a new account; players with existing accounts will still be able to use them through the Steam installation.
What features of Steam are available?
You will have access to the Steam Overlay, Achievements, and the ability to make purchases with your Steam Wallet.
Can I use Steam Wallet for Gems?
Yes. A Steam-installed copy of SMITE will use the Steam Wallet instead of the Hi-Rez website for Gem purchasing.
Mac Overlay Issue
If you go to the SMITE store and click on a buy button, you may not get the Steam store pop up. This means your Mac is preventing the Steam overlay from displaying. To fix this follow these steps:
Close SMITE
Close Steam
Open System Preferences
Go to Security & Privacy Tab
Click Lock icon to unlock settings
Click ‘+’ sign
Find Steam application and add it to the list
Close System Preferences
Open Steam
Open SMITE
Go to the store and you should be good to purchase again!
Mac and PS4 is great, I just hope HiRez doesn't go overboard with the whole multi-platform thing and try to make a version of Smite for iOS and Android. That would be a nightmare, and as unlikely as it is, it wouldn't be the first time something like that happens. At least Smite is free, so we'll always have that.
What I'm saying is, I like that Smite is getting releases for Consoles and Mac, but it makes me worried because I hope that Smite never gets ported to mobile because then it will turn into a money-grab.
