To participate, PC players should navigate to their Steam library and locate *Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2*. Directly below the main game, you'll find the public test server listed as a separate title, provided you've already purchased *Space Marine 2* on Steam. Once you've found it, simply download and install the test server, which operates independently of the main game.

What Is Included with the Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 Public Test Server

The *Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2* public test server introduces new content for both PvE and PvP modes, including new weapons and customization options. The majority of the updates are focused on PvE, featuring a new map, relaxed class restrictions on weapons, and enhancements to online gameplay features. Keep in mind, the content, especially the new PvE elements, is still in development and subject to change before its official release.

The public test server also boasts improved matchmaking for both PvE and PvP modes, with a focus on better team balancing. The PvE matchmaking system aims to prevent multiple players from selecting the same class on a single team and includes a unique prestige leveling system. Meanwhile, the PvP mode offers expanded customization options in its lobby to enrich the multiplayer experience.

For those with mods installed for *Space Marine 2*, be aware that these will not function within the public test server environment. Additionally, any custom content created on the test server using available assets will not carry over to the main game, as the test server is a distinct build. There's no official confirmation yet on whether progression or content from the test server will transfer to the main game, but it's not anticipated.
