Since its September 2024 launch, *Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2* has seen consistent post-launch updates, especially for its online multiplayer. Want to get a sneak peek at upcoming content? Here's how to access the public test server.
How to Join the *Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2* Public Test Server
Important Note: The public test server is currently PC-only. It's not available on PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S.
Accessing the server is straightforward for PC players via Steam. Simply locate Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 in your Steam library. The public test server will appear as a separate entry below the main game, provided you own the game on Steam. You'll need to download and install it separately; it has its own files.
What's Included in the *Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2* Public Test Server?
The public test server offers new PvE and PvP content, including new and modified weapons and customization options. The focus is largely on PvE, featuring a brand-new map, relaxed class weapon restrictions, and online gameplay tweaks. Remember, this content is a work in progress and may change significantly before official release.
Online gameplay improvements include enhanced matchmaking for both PvE and PvP, aiming for better team balancing. PvE matchmaking reduces the likelihood of players choosing the same class on the same team and introduces a prestige leveling system. PvP offers expanded lobby customization options.
Finally, please note: Mods from the main game won't work on the test server. While you can create and customize content using the test server's assets, this content won't transfer to the main game. There's currently no confirmation on whether progression will carry over.
