While *Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2* is playable on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, the public test server is exclusively available to PC players. Accessing it is straightforward through Steam, without any complicated steps.

PC players can find the public test server listed directly below the main game in their Steam library, provided they own *Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2* on Steam. Once located, players need to download and install the test server, which comes as a separate entity from 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, featuring new weapons and customization options. The bulk of the updates are in PvE, with a fresh map, loosened class restrictions on weapons, and tweaks to online gameplay features. Keep in mind, this content is still in development and may evolve before the official release.

On the online gameplay front, the test server enhances matchmaking for both PvE and PvP modes, focusing on improved team balancing. The PvE system aims to diversify class selection within teams and includes a prestige leveling system. Meanwhile, PvP mode boasts expanded lobby customization to enrich the multiplayer experience.

For those with mods installed for *Space Marine 2*, be aware that these will not function in the public test server. Players can create and customize content using the available assets, but this won't carry over to the main game. There's no official confirmation on whether progress or content from the test server will transfer to the main game, but it's unlikely.
