How to Join the *Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2* Public Test Server

Important Note: The public test server is currently only available on PC via Steam; it's not accessible on PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S.

Accessing the server is straightforward for PC players. 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 a copy of Space Marine 2 on Steam. Download and install—it's a separate installation from the main game.

What's Included in the *Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2* Public Test Server?

The public test server offers new PvE and PvP content, along with updated weapons and customization options. PvE sees the most changes, including a brand-new map, relaxed class restrictions on weapons, and modified online gameplay features. Remember, this content is a work in progress and subject to change before official release.

Online gameplay improvements include enhanced matchmaking for both PvE and PvP, focusing on better team balancing. PvE matchmaking aims to prevent teams from having too many players with the same class, and it also includes a prestige leveling system. PvP offers expanded lobby customization options.

Finally, please note: Mods from the main game will not work on the test server. While you can create and customize content using the test server's assets, this content will not transfer to your main game. There's currently no confirmation on whether progression will carry over.
