Smite 2 introduces robust cross progression, allowing players to transfer their hard-earned cosmetics, gems, and account progress between platforms like PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch. This feature builds on Smite 1’s legacy, ensuring veterans can dive back in without starting from scratch. By linking accounts through specific in-game tools and websites, you maintain continuity across devices.
Understanding Cross Progression in Smite 2
Cross progression means your unlocks, purchases, and achievements follow you regardless of the platform you play on. Unlike traditional MOBA games that lock progress to one ecosystem, Smite 2 supports full synchronization. This includes skins, gods, voice packs, and currency like gems. The system relies on a primary account designation, where progress from your main platform propagates to linked secondary ones.
Key benefits include playing with friends via cross-play while sharing the same inventory. For instance, a skin bought on Steam appears in your Xbox sessions. However, this requires careful setup during the transition from Smite 1 to ensure everything transfers correctly.
Prerequisites for Seamless Account Linking
Before starting, verify you have active Smite 1 and Smite 2 installations on your primary platform. The process is irreversible, so choose the account with the most investment—typically where you’ve spent gems or logged the highest playtime.
- Active Smite 1 account with Divine Legacy access.
- Smite 2 installed on the target platforms.
- Stable internet connection for authentication.
- Platform-specific logins (Steam, Epic, Xbox Live, PSN, Nintendo Account).
Players migrating from Smite 1 must prioritize the Divine Legacy menu, as it’s the gateway to cross compatibility.
Step-by-Step: Linking Smite 1 to Smite 2
The core process begins in Smite 1. Launch the game on your main platform—the one with your most valuable progress.
- Access Divine Legacy: From the main menu, navigate to the Divine Legacy section. Look for the ‘Link Smite and Smite 2 Accounts’ option. Confirm this action, noting it’s permanent.
- Visit Link.smite2.com: Open a browser and go to the official linking site. Sign in using credentials from the same platform used in step 1.
- Agree to Terms: Review and accept the linking terms. This binds your Smite 1 progress to Smite 2.
- Set Primary Account: Designate this as your primary for progression sync. All future purchases and levels will centralize here.
Once linked, test by logging into Smite 2 on another platform. Your inventory should populate automatically.
Expanding to Multiple Platforms
After initial linking, add secondary platforms for broader access. This is optional but ideal for multi-device players.
| Platform | Linking Method | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Steam | Sign in via link.smite2.com | Founder’s Edition purchases sync if primary is set correctly. |
| Xbox/Game Pass | Xbox Live auth | Progress may require re-link if previously separate. |
| PlayStation | PSN login | Full cross-gen skin support. |
| Switch | Nintendo Account | Verify Divine Legacy first. |
| Epic | Epic Games login | Common for PC starters; transfers to consoles. |
Sync happens bidirectionally from the primary, but edits (like purchases) on secondaries update only if linked properly. Monitor the linking dashboard for status.
Handling Founder’s Edition and Purchases
Smite 2 Founder’s Edition buyers get extra incentives. Purchases from Smite 1, including cross-gen skins, carry over via progression rules. If bought on Epic but playing via Steam, re-link to activate benefits.
Gems and cosmetics purchased post-linking sync instantly. Pre-linking buys require the Divine Legacy step to retroactively apply.
Common Pitfalls and Troubleshooting
Issues arise from mismatched platforms or skipped steps. Here’s how to resolve:
- Progress Not Syncing: Ensure primary is set on link.smite2.com. Relaunch Smite 1 to re-confirm Divine Legacy.
- Founder’s Perks Missing: Link the purchase platform as primary. Steam users with Epic buys must prioritize Epic.
- Separate Profiles: Use the same platform login across devices. Avoid creating new profiles.
- Console Cross-Gen: Skins from Founder’s work across gens post-linking.

Cross-Play vs. Cross Progression: Key Differences
Don’t confuse these. Cross-play lets you queue with friends on different platforms. Cross progression handles inventory and levels. Smite 2 excels at both, but progression needs manual linking first.
| Feature | Cross-Play | Cross Progression |
|---|---|---|
| Setup | Automatic in lobbies | Manual linking required |
| Scope | Multiplayer sessions | Account-wide unlocks |
| Platforms | All supported | Linked only |

Community feedback highlights smooth transfers for most, with edge cases like Game Pass resolved via support tickets.
