As the case with any online, live-service game, SMITE is susceptible to server outages. Ongoing server maintenance, regular patches and bug fixes, and sometimes bad luck can all lead to a frustrating gap in your connectivity. Fortunately, you’re not alone, and online resources can help you identify if the problem exists on your end or Hi-Rez Studios’ servers instead. Here are some easy ways to check SMITE server status.

Is SMITE Down? Let’s Find Out
Hi-Rez Studios Server Status
The first option available comes straight from the source — Hi-Rez Studios Server Status website. Here, you’ll find information regarding all Hi-Rez online games and can determine if servers are operational as well as any upcoming maintenance that may affect them.
Downdetector
Although being a third-party website, Downdetector is one of the most widely popular resources to check server status for most online games. A simple chart displays the past 24 hours of reported outages for any given game and is a reliable way to check if SMITE servers are down or not.
SMITE Official Twitter
For the most up-to-date information on server status and the game itself, the SMITE official Twitter account is your best resource. Hi-Rez normally keeps the community notified as soon as any server issues are discovered and the moment everything is up and running again.
If you can’t connect to SMITE servers, hopefully these tips help you discern the possible reasons for that. Most of the time, the problem isn’t on the user’s end, but on Hi-Rez servers themselves. Patience is a virtue, and with it, you’ll be back to your divine dueling in no time.
