Space Marine 2 now has its very own Public Test Server, and you can check it out
Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 was one of the big surprises of last year, being so successful that it even took over Helldivers 2's title of the gaming community's darling third-person shooter for a little while. Space Marine 2's latest major step forward, then, is a proper Public Test Server. Though we've known for some time now that the developer Saber Interactive was looking into setting up a PTS for Space Marine 2, the exact timeline was murky for a while now. Any kind of news would've been welcome at this point, let alone something as exciting as the immediate availability of the Public Test Server with an exciting new content update already cooking. Indeed, dedicated players can jump straight into Patch 7.0, which I'm sure many of you will be doing. On that front, there are some caveats to keep in mind here. https://twitter.com/Focus_entmt/status/1900124938855481783 Join the PTS for Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 to leave feedback Anyone interested in giving Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2's Public Test Server a shot can do so right away, though the recommendation is that you first look into the official forum to get a sense of what's what. With that out of the way, a Space Marine 2 PTS entry should be available as a standalone version of the game on Steam. It exists as an entirely separate entry that doesn't share anything with the base version of Space Marine 2. This means you'll need to download everything from the ground-up and, more importantly, your profile progression does not transition to and from the PTS. Instead, all players have virtually everything unlocked with fully maxed-out class progression over on the Test Server. This is obviously a huge boon for testing purposes, but it does underline the notion that this is definitely not just an "early access" kind of thing for cutting-edge content. Your owned DLCs and customization options also won't be available on the PTS, for obvious reasons. And on that note, Saber has stated that even though the majority of an upcoming update's content will be available via the Test Server, "[they] won’t share content that is too buggy or hasn’t undergone the necessary approvals on our side at the time of the PTS release. Also, some content might be present on the PTS, but not accessible to the players. For instance, you may see new Champions in the Armouring Hall but won’t be able to try them." A Public Test Server also won't be available at all times. Instead, you can expect it to pop up only ahead of the release of a major content update for Space Marine 2. The initial version of the Space Marine 2 PTS thus demos Patch 7 and will be taken offline after the update's full official release. In this first version of the PTS, expect to be able to test out: A new PvE weapon A new Operation PvE mission Rebalanced weapon perks Reworked Class weapon loadouts PvE Prestige feature And a few other tidbits. Of course, if you do join the PTS, consider submitting feedback to Saber Interactive via the forum featured above. That is the main purpose of a Public Test Server, after all.
