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

Since its launch in September 2024, *Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2* has been bolstering its offerings, especially in its online multiplayer modes. For those eager to dive into new content before anyone else, here’s your guide to joining the *Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2* public test server.

How to Join the Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 Public Test Server

It’s worth noting that while *Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2* is available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, the public test server is exclusively accessible on PC. PC players can easily access this server through Steam, making the process straightforward and user-friendly.

To join, simply navigate to your Steam library, find *Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2*, and you’ll see the public test server listed right below the main game as a separate entity. Remember, you must own a copy of *Space Marine 2* on Steam to access this server. Once you locate it, download and install the test server, which operates independently 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 sneak peek at new content for both PvE and PvP modes, including new 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 public 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 on 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.
