Sony is gearing up to excite its fans by offering a free trial of Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 on PS Plus Premium in December. This move is part of a celebration for PlayStation’s 30th anniversary. Since its release just months ago, Space Marine 2 has been a major hit, winning over players with its grimdark appeal and intense gameplay.
Created by Saber Interactive, Space Marine 2 has quickly captured the hearts of gamers, garnering both critical acclaim and a massive player base—over 4.5 million strong by October 2024. Despite some hiccups with game updates that stirred up community concerns, Saber Interactive managed to smooth things over. Fans can look forward to fresh content being added to the game this December, adding even more excitement to the mix.
In addition to new features, PS5 users have another reason to celebrate. Starting December 3, 2024, a game trial for Space Marine 2 will be accessible on PS Plus Premium. These trials, especially for big-name games like this one, don’t come around often on the platform. The last time we saw a new trial was for Stellar Blade in June 2024.
So far, December’s PS Plus Premium offerings are shaping up nicely. The highlight is, of course, the Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 trial. There’s no official word yet on how long players will get to dive into this epic adventure, but two-hour trials are a common standard for AAA titles on the platform. It will be interesting to see if this sneak peek leads to more copies flying off the shelves.
PlayStation’s anniversary celebration doesn’t stop with just one exciting addition. Alongside the Space Marine 2 trial, three classic PS2 titles—Sly 2: Band of Thieves, Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves, and Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy—are joining the PS Plus Premium lineup. Meanwhile, PS Plus Essential subscribers can look forward to receiving the acclaimed It Takes Two, the MMO Temtem, and the strategy game Aliens: Dark Descent.
Step into the boots of a Space Marine and gear up to battle the Tyranid swarms in riveting third-person combat. Whether you prefer flying solo or teaming up with friends, Space Marine 2 offers a mix of fast-paced, brutal, and satisfying gameplay experiences. Not only can you unleash havoc in solo campaigns, but you can also join forces online in co-op missions, defending humanity from relentless threats. And for those with a competitive streak, there’s no shortage of action in the game’s PvP matches, allowing you to bring glory to your faction in intense 6v6 battles. With its blend of hack and slash elements, this game is set to give players an adrenaline-pumping ride they’d never forget.
