You can’t go online this month without stumbling upon something Warhammer 40,000-related, thanks to the immense popularity of developer Saber Interactive’s Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. It’s an absolute achievement in entertainment,

Space Marine 2 launched proper yesterday, September 9 after four days of early access, and soon shot to record-breaking success for a Warhammer 40,000 game.

And that’s just taking into account players on Steam. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 also launched on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S, so the true concurrent player numbers are likely even higher. As the game moves into its first weekend, the excitement is expected to soar even further.

Space Marine 2 offers players six classes to choose from in fighting the forces of the Imperium. Each class is valid and able to tackle any content in the game, although some shine just a bit more than the rest.

Another update on the commercial performance of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 highlights the excitement surrounding the game.
