Smite fans have been poking through the game’s 5.18 patch and have found something rather interesting. A reference to Switch now exists in the latest engine config file under the Oasis tag. Strings are included for the eShop in which players would be able to purchase gems.

If everything here sounds familiar, that’s because something similar happened with Paladins before it was officially announced for Switch. Hi-Rez Studios is likely preparing its MOBA for Nintendo’s console, though it’s unclear when an official announcement will be made.

Paladins now available on Switch as a free-to-play download

Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments

Paladins initially came to Switch back in June. But when that happened, system owners could only obtain the game by purchasing the Founder’s Pack.

Those who have been waiting to jump in on Paladins might be interested to hear that the fantasy team-based shooter has become free-to-play on Switch, similar to other platforms. You no longer need to fork over $29.99 in order to experience the title. Players who previously bought the Founder’s Pack were able to immediately unlock all Champions and their voice packs now and forever, and were provided with exclusive cosmetics.

If you plan on downloading Paladins on Switch, you’ll need 6.1GB of free space.
