Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 reopens its PC test server for Patch 16 until 18 November

Saber Interactive has reopened the Public Test Server (PTS) for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, giving PC players a chance to try content from the upcoming Patch 16. According to the studio’s Steam announcement, posted on 10 November 2026, the server stays open until 18 November.

What the PTS is

The PTS is a separate version of the game with work-in-progress content. Expect unfinished features and the odd bug. The point is to gather feedback, which the developer team will review before the patch’s official release.

Since it’s a public test, there’s no NDA, so you’re free to create content based on it.

Who can play

The PTS is PC only, through Steam. It isn’t available on PlayStation, Xbox or the Epic Games Store.

To get in, log in to the Steam account that owns Space Marine 2 and look under the game’s Library entry for “Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 - Public Test Server”. Install it from there. It sits in its own directory, apart from the base game.

Saber recommends setting the game language to English, because translations may still be in progress.

What to expect

• No saved progress: the PTS doesn’t carry over your progression, and nothing you do there transfers to the main game. Everyone starts with maxed levels and all weapons unlocked, Prestige Ranks included.
• Most, not all, of the new content: Saber says it won’t share anything too buggy or not yet approved. Some content may be visible but locked. New Champions in the Armouring Hall, for example, need the Season Pass to try.
• No DLC: DLCs aren’t available on the PTS, even if you own them.
• Multiplayer works: that includes private PvP lobbies, so you can bring friends along.
• No mods: enabling them makes the PTS crash at launch, so disable them first.

Giving feedback

Saber has set up dedicated forum threads on Focus Together for feedback on new content, changes and balance tweaks.
