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 the game on Steam. After locating it, download and install—it has its own separate files.

The public test server features new PvE and PvP content, including new and modified weapons and customization options. The majority of changes are in PvE, with a new map, relaxed class weapon restrictions, and altered 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 balanced teams. PvE matchmaking aims to prevent players from selecting the same class on the same team and includes a prestige leveling system. PvP offers expanded lobby customization options.

Note: Installed mods will not function on the public test server. While you can create and customize content using available assets, this will not save to your main game. Currently, there's no confirmation on whether progression or content will transfer from the test server to the main game; it's not expected.
