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 get a first look at new content, here's how to access the *Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2* public test server.

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

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. Fortunately, joining the test server is straightforward for those on PC. Simply navigate to your Steam library, locate *Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2*, and you'll find the public test server listed right below the main game. Remember, this option is only available if you've already purchased *Space Marine 2* on Steam. Once you find it, download and install the test server, which operates as a separate entity 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. The majority of updates are centered around PvE, featuring a new map, relaxed class restrictions on weapons, and enhancements to online gameplay features. Keep in mind that the content, especially the PvE additions, is still in development and subject to change before its official release.

The test server also includes improved matchmaking for both PvE and PvP modes, focusing on better team balancing. In PvE, the system aims to prevent over-saturation of the same class on one team and introduces a prestige leveling system. Meanwhile, PvP mode boasts enhanced lobby customization to enrich the online 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 within the test server won't carry over to the main game, as it's a separate build. There's no confirmation on whether progress or content from the test server will transfer to the main game, but it's unlikely.
