Sony has announced some exciting news for fans of Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2. The game, which is a thrilling blend of sci-fi action and adventure, will be free for a trial on PS Plus Premium come December. Despite its recent launch, Space Marine 2 has captured a broad audience, solidifying its popularity. This initiative is part of PlayStation’s celebration of its 30th anniversary, giving Premium subscribers a chance to dive into the dark and intense world of this beloved shooter.
Created by Saber Interactive, Space Marine 2 has garnered both critical acclaim and commercial success since its release in September. In no time, the game chalked up a staggering 4.5 million players by October. Although there have been a few hiccups with updates recently, which stirred some unrest among the community, Saber Interactive was quick to address any issues. Looking forward, December promises to be huge for fans as the game gears up for an array of new content.
In addition to these updates, PS5 players have another reason to be excited. A fresh game trial for Space Marine 2 will be accessible on PS Plus Premium starting December 3, 2024. These kinds of trials are infrequent, especially for major titles like Space Marine 2. For example, the last game trial added was for Stellar Blade in June 2024. With this new trial, players can experience intense gameplay and make informed decisions about purchasing the full game.
