SMITE is now 10 years old, with many changes coming on all platforms, including the fact that this won’t be named “Season 10” but “Year 10” instead. A great milestone for any achievement, since having something running for a decade is decent enough proof of longevity.
Now, a lot of players are eager to participate in SMITE PTS on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation, so that they can play Surtr, the new god in SMITE. Prima Games will tell you how to install and play SMITE PTS on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation in a few easy steps.
How to Install SMITE Public Test Server on PC
Installing SMITE Public Test Server on your PC is not a difficult endeavor (if PTS is available at the moment). You need to go to SMITE’s Steam Store Page, on which you will see the following part of the page. Click on the dialogue (as seen in the picture) and Steam’s usual install dialogue will come out. Please note that installing a PTS on your PC is completely independent of the live version of the game.
