Reports of Matchmaking and Connection Issues in Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2 Trygon Update

Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 recently released a patch that, unfortunately, has led to some frustrating connection and matchmaking hassles for players. This update, known as the Trygon update, appears to have introduced these issues — alterations to the matchmaking system are likely to blame. Saber Interactive, the development team behind the game, is actively working to address these challenges and restore smooth gameplay.

Since its debut in late 2024, Space Marine 2 has made a lasting impression in the gaming world. Serving as a sequel to the 2011 original, it offers a rich, Warhammer 40k-inspired hack-and-slash experience that’s both visually spectacular and gory. With its mix of a gripping campaign and extensive online play, the game has thrived—until now, as these network problems post-patch have fans eager for a quick fix.

The Trygon update, while packing a host of new features, has inadvertently strained Space Marine 2’s online capabilities. Players on platforms like Steam have voiced their struggles with connectivity, so it’s likely those alterations in matchmaking — specifically the updates to class-based matchmaking in Operations mode and skill-based matchmaking in Eternal War mode — are the root of the issue. This has also led to longer wait times for players using more common classes.

The truth is still unfolding, but all signs point to these matchmaking tweaks causing the headaches players are enduring. Besides these changes, the Trygon update introduces a fresh operation named Exfiltration, requiring players to reach a Mechanicus facility to confront a formidable Tyranid called Trygon. Additionally, Space Marine 2’s PvP experience now includes private and custom lobbies.

While it remains unclear how these issues will be resolved, Saber Interactive is committed to ongoing support for Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2. Since its launch, the game has seen a number of updates, including a significant one earlier this year, with more planned throughout 2025. Despite the current technical hiccup, Space Marine 2 continues to captivate and engage its audience.
