Are the Smite servers under maintenance? Hi-Rez Studio’s popular MOBA might be doing some maintenance right now. Is Smite down? It’s easy to tell whether or not the servers are down or if you’re having a problem, and we’ll show you how to find out for certain!
Are the Smite servers under maintenance?
The first thing you might be wondering is this: are the Smite servers under maintenance? Smite might go into maintenance for a few reasons. There could be a problem with the server hardware or the developers might be releasing a new patch. How can you find out?
A good choice for your first stop is the official Smite Twitter account — any tweets about server maintenance or other problems will be posted there first. You’ll probably also want to check out the Hirez Operations Twitter; this account will list any troubles for any of their game servers across all platforms.
If nothing comes up on either of those, the next place you can look is the Hi-Rez Studios Server Status Page. This automated tool will tell you if there are any problems with a game’s servers and it even has platform-specific information. For example, the Smite PS4 servers could be down while the PC, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch servers are still working just fine.
Finally, your last stop should be the game’s official news feed. There’s always the chance that the news hasn’t quite hit Twitter just yet, but a news post may already be live explaining the problem. If none of these things work, though, then you may have another problem entirely.
Is Smite down?
If all of the links in the preceding section check out, then the problem may actually be with you. As always, you should try the following steps:
- Close down Smite and the Hi-Rez launcher and then try to launch the game again.
- Restart your computer.
- Restart your Internet connection.
- Reinstall Smite.
If none of these work out, then it may be indicative of a more serious problem. At that point, you should file a support ticket with Hi-Rez Studios and see if they can help you solve the problem.
