As we approach December 2024, Sony has an exciting announcement for fans of the Warhammer 40K universe: Space Marine 2 is set to have a free game trial on PS Plus Premium. Despite only being on the market for a few months, this sci-fi action-adventure game, created by Saber Interactive, is celebrating PlayStation’s 30th anniversary in style. Subscribers to the Premium tier can look forward to diving into this beloved grimdark shooter without spending an extra dime.
Space Marine 2 has been making waves since its release in September 2024, drawing widespread acclaim from both critics and players alike. By October, the game had already amassed an impressive player base of over 4.5 million, a number that continues to grow. Although the community recently voiced some concerns about updates, Saber Interactive quickly addressed them and is gearing up to roll out even more content in December.
For fans on the PS5, there’s more to anticipate in December. The PlayStation Blog recently revealed that a Space Marine 2 game trial will become available on PS Plus Premium starting December 3, 2024. Game trials aren’t added to PS Plus Premium very often, especially for big titles like this one, underscoring the significance of this addition. In fact, the last trial that made its way onto the service was for Stellar Blade back in June 2024.
