Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2developer Saber Interactive has confirmed that Public Test Servers are to be added to the game in a future update.

Space Marine 2 rolls back balance changes, Public Test Servers confirmed
Last week,Space Marine 2released its 4.0 patch, and to say players weren’t happy is an understatement. Unpopular weapon nerfs and a higher difficulty curve all around had gamers up in arms, leading some to take to the virtual streets in a form of protest as old as time: Steam review bombing.
Space Marine 2fans can officially put down their pitchforks; the new 4.1 update to the game rolls back those controversial changes, with Grigorenko claiming he “forgot that once the game comes out, it’s no longer a dev’s game. It’s yours first and foremost.”
To avoid repeating the mistake with future balance updates, Saber Interactive confirmed that the aforementioned Public Test Servers will be coming toSpace Marine 2in “early 2025.” However, no further timeline has been given for this as of yet.
