4 minutes ago Comment Views: 0

Greetings, Space Marines! ⭐

The Public Test Server is open again today! Join us until November 18 to try upcoming content from Patch 16. This FAQ covers everything you need to know before jumping in.

What is the Public Test Server?

The Public Test Server (PTS) is a separate version of Space Marine 2 where players can try work-in-progress features and content. Your feedback helps the development team refine patches before release and informs future updates.

Because this is a test environment, you may encounter unfinished content and bugs. Progress made on the PTS will not be tracked or transferred to the main game. With each PTS update, players start at maximum level with all weapons unlocked.

DLCs are not available on the PTS, even if you own them.

You are welcome to create and share content from the PTS. There is no non-disclosure agreement.

Which platforms support the PTS?

The PTS is available exclusively on PC through Steam. It cannot be accessed on PlayStation, Xbox or the Epic Games Store.

📝 How to access the PTS on Steam

Open the Steam client.
Sign in to the account that owns Space Marine 2.
Go to your Steam Library.
Find Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 – Public Test Server under your Space Marine 2 entry.
Optionally, right-click the PTS entry, select Properties and set the default language to English under the General tab. Translations for new content may still be incomplete, so English is recommended.
Select the PTS entry and install it. The test server is installed separately from the base game, with its own files and updates. Your main game progress will not be affected.

Once installation is complete, click “Play” to launch the Public Test Server.

Can I try every feature coming in the next patch?

Most upcoming content will be available for testing. However, features that are too unstable or have not received the necessary approvals may be left out of the PTS release.

Some content may also appear on the PTS without being accessible. For example, you might see new Champions in the Armouring Hall but be unable to try them unless you own the Season Pass.

Will my progress be saved?

No. The PTS runs separately from the main game and does not carry over your existing progress. Instead, players begin at maximum level with all weapons unlocked, allowing them to test features such as Prestige Ranks without spending time unlocking them.

Progress made on the PTS is not saved or transferred to the live game.

Is multiplayer available on the PTS?

Yes. Multiplayer is available, including private PvP lobbies, so you can invite your fellow players to join you.

Do mods work on the PTS?

No. Enabled mods will cause the PTS to crash at launch, so make sure to disable them before playing.

Your feedback is essential. The PTS gives the team an opportunity to hear your thoughts on upcoming content, gameplay changes and balance adjustments.

Share your impressions in the dedicated Patch 16 PTS forum on Focus Together.

Thank you for helping us make Space Marine 2 even better!
