Smite
Hi-Rez Studios has released a developer diary for the upcoming Xbox One version of its MOBA, Smite. In addition to a look at the different modes, the developer announced incentive to get PC players to try the game on console.
While details haven't yet been announced, Hi-Rez has committed to offering a way for players to transfer purchases and progress from PC to Xbox One. It's not yet clear if this is a two-way street via a common account system or a one-time import.
Hi-Rez also says that the Xbox One version looks as good as the PC version on the highest graphics settings.
Smite is heading into closed beta shortly. The title will be released on Xbox One later in 2015.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
