About SMITE
Smite is a free-to-play MOBA game developed by Hi-Rez Studios.
Gods from multiple mythologies serve as playable characters in the game. Each god has three base abilities, one ultimate ability, and one passive ability. Each character can buy up to 6 passive items that grant stats bonuses and up to 2 active items that give the player new abilities such as teleporting or healing. Such items don't require mana but have a long recovery time.

- Refund verdicts summarize each platform's published policy (Steam, Epic, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo) and are not a guarantee of outcome.
- Fix steps are ordered troubleshooting guidance based on common causes — they are not official developer support.
How the refund verdict works
The verdict compares your playtime and purchase date against the platform's published window (14 days / 2 hours on Steam and Epic; discretionary on PlayStation; 14-day capped on Xbox; no-refund policy on Nintendo eShop for downloaded software). Technical defects are weighed more favourably than preference changes, which is why the appeal letter template asks you to state the specific issue and attach evidence.
