Join Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2 Public Test: Steps Revealed

Since its launch in September 2024, *Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2* has been bolstered by continuous updates, especially in its online multiplayer components. For players eager to explore new content before its official release, here’s a detailed guide on how to join the *Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2* public test server.

How to Join 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. To join, PC users can easily access the public test server through Steam, without needing to navigate a complex setup.

To get started, simply search for *Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2* in your Steam library. The public test server should appear as a separate entry directly below the main game. Remember, you must own a copy of *Space Marine 2* on Steam to access this server. Once you locate the public test server, download and install it. It will function as a standalone application, separate from the main game.

What Is Included with the Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 Public Test Server

The *Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2* public test server offers a range of new content for both PvE and PvP modes, including new weapons and customization options for players to experiment with. The majority of updates are focused on PvE, featuring a new map, relaxed class weapon restrictions, and enhancements to online gameplay features. Keep in mind that the content, especially the new PvE additions, is still in development and may undergo significant changes before the official release.

For online gameplay, the public test server introduces improved matchmaking for both PvE and PvP modes, with a focus on better team balancing. The PvE matchmaking system aims to prevent multiple players of the same class from being on the same team and includes a prestige leveling system. Meanwhile, the PvP mode boasts enhanced lobby customization to enrich the multiplayer experience.

If you have mods installed for *Space Marine 2*, they won't function in the public test server. Additionally, any content created or customized on the test server using available assets won’t be saved to the main game, as the test server operates as a distinct build. There's no official confirmation yet on whether progress or content from the test server will transfer to the main game, but it's not anticipated.
