Smite players on the PlayStation 4 can join in the Summer of Smite event, as 3.12 patch is now out for consoles as well as PC. The Smite patch ends the Viking Invasion event and starts the Summer of Smite, which will drop new items over the next few months, and all purchases will earn a bonus chest roll.
