Next month, Sony is giving PlayStation fans something to look forward to. They’ve announced that Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2, a beloved sci-fi action-adventure game, will have a trial on PS Plus Premium. Released just a few months back, Space Marine 2 is part of the celebration for PlayStation’s 30th anniversary in December 2024, offering subscribers a complimentary experience of this popular grimdark shooter.
Created by Saber Interactive, Space Marine 2 quickly garnered both critical and commercial success following its launch in September 2024. By October, the game had impressive numbers, surpassing 4.5 million players, and it’s likely grown since then. While Saber Interactive faced some criticism over recent updates, they’ve been proactive in addressing player concerns. Excitingly, new content is slated for release in December 2024, adding to the game’s appeal.
For those particularly thrilled about upcoming developments, a recent PlayStation Blog post confirmed that a game trial for Space Marine 2 will be available to PS Plus Premium users starting December 3, 2024. High-profile titles like this don’t often get trials, so this is a treat. The last time something like this happened was with Stellar Blade’s trial in June 2024.
