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.


Frequently Asked Questions




How do I install SMITE on my Mac?

  1. Head over to www.smitegame.com
  2. On the homepage, click “DOWNLOAD Play Free”
  3. Click “Mac Beta” where you’ll be directed to the STEAM website
  4. Click the green “Play Game” button

**Follow the Steam install prompt. If you do not have Steam installed on your Mac, install at this time and SMITE will automatically download**

Where do I submit feedback?


Submit your feedback HERE!


Are Mac and Steam/PC separate player bases?


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.
