Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 has been officially released, and proven that its popularity wasn’t a fluke. The game initially became playable over the weekend for those who opted for its gold and ultimate editions, and it managed to attract millions of players, enough for it to reach nearly 135,000 concurrent players on Steam, well ahead of the original Space Marine.
Even prior to Monday’s proper launch, those numbers were enough to make it one of Steam’s most popular releases in 2024. Once Monday rolled around and the game unlocked for more players, however, things only got better.
