The Public Test Server Returns to Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2

Good news for all players in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. Saber Interactive announced that the Public Test Server is open again. This is only available on PC via Steam.

For those new to the game, the Public Test Server serves as a separate version and offers WIP content and other features. Players can send their feedback and help the development team refine the patch they're working on before it's officially released. In a post, the team shared that the input of the players give them that "important perspective" that can be reviewed and have an impact on further game updates.

Now since this is a test environment, players should expect unfinished content and even some bugs. Since this is a "different" game version, progression won't be tracked. For each PTS update, players can land on the game with levels maxed out and all weapons unlocked. In addition, DLCs won't be available even if players have them. Furthermore, since it is "Public," players are free to create content based on it. There won't be any NDA.

Accessing the PTS

To access the PTS via Steam, here are the steps:

  • Open the Steam client.
  • Log in with the account that owns Space Marine 2.
  • Go to the Steam Library.
  • Look for "Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 - Public Test Server" under the Space Marine 2 entry.
  • Once this entry has been clicked, players can then install the Public Test Server content.


Take note that the install instance isn't related to the base game. That means the files remain in separate directories and all future updates are also distinct. It means that the current progression of players won't be affected by the time spent on the PTS.

For those wondering, the PTS runs until Patch 8.0 is officially launched.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 offers single and multiplayer modes where players are tasked with saving the Empire through an incredibly immersive third-person action gameplay. The thrilling, blood-soaked, and fast-paced third-person action has players fight against hundreds of enemies. They can try to defeat relentless Tyranid hordes in a spectacular new campaign alone or team up with up to 2 friends in a seamless, 3-player co-op mode.
