Since its launch in September 2024, *Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2* has been bolstered by robust post-launch support, especially in its online multiplayer modes. If you're eager to dive into the latest content before it hits the main game, here's your guide to joining the *Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2* public test server.
It's important to note that while *Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2* is available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, the public test server is exclusively accessible to PC players. If you're on a PC, accessing the test server is straightforward through Steam.
To join, simply navigate to your Steam library and locate *Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2*. The public test server should appear right below the main game as a separate entry. Remember, you must own a copy of *Space Marine 2* on Steam to see this option. Once you find it, download and install the test server, which operates independently from the main game with its own set of files.
The *Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2* public test server offers a sneak peek at new content for both PvE and PvP modes, including new and modified weapons and customization options. The bulk of the updates are focused on PvE, featuring a new map, relaxed class restrictions on weapons, and enhancements to online gameplay features. Keep in mind, the content, especially the PvE additions, is still in development and subject to change before its official release.
In terms of online gameplay, the test server introduces improved matchmaking for both PvE and PvP, with a focus on better team balancing. The PvE system aims to minimize instances of players choosing the same class on the same team and includes a prestige leveling system. Meanwhile, the PvP mode boasts enhanced lobby customization to enrich the multiplayer experience.
For those with mods installed for *Space Marine 2*, be aware that these will not work in the public test server. Additionally, any content created or customized within the test server environment won't carry over to the main game, as the test server is a separate build. There's no official confirmation yet on whether progression or content from the test server will transfer to the main game, but it's not anticipated.
