Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 is set to get even more exciting for fans as Sony has announced a free trial for the game on PS Plus Premium in December 2024. This move comes just in time for PlayStation’s 30th anniversary celebrations, giving PS Plus subscribers a chance to experience this popular sci-fi action-adventure title. Although released only a few months ago, Space Marine 2 has quickly gained both critical praise and commercial success.
Since its launch in September 2024 by Saber Interactive, Space Marine 2 has amassed over 4.5 million players by October. Despite some hiccups with updates that initially concerned the community, the developers swiftly patched things up. Looking ahead to December, more thrilling content is expected to be added to the game, which will surely keep players engaged.
On top of these expansions, there’s a treat for PS5 owners. A recent blog post on PlayStation’s official website revealed that the trial for Space Marine 2 will be available from December 3, 2024. It’s quite rare for such high-profile games to have a trial version on PS Plus Premium. The last notable addition was Stellar Blade’s trial in June 2024, with no further trials added since.
Upcoming PS Plus Premium Additions in December 2024
Among the fresh additions:
- New Game Trial: Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2
- New Classic Games: Get ready for Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy along with Sly 2: Band of Thieves and Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves making their appearance.
The exact duration of Space Marine 2’s game trial hasn’t been confirmed just yet. Typically, AAA games on PS Plus Premium offer a two-hour hands-on experience, so fans can likely expect a similar timeframe. This trial could potentially boost the game’s sales as interested players get a taste of its gameplay.
In addition to the Space Marine 2 trial, the anniversary celebrations bring delightful news for fans of classic gaming as well. PS2 classics such as Jak and Daxter and the Sly Cooper series are set to join PS Plus Premium. Meanwhile, PS Plus Essential subscribers will get their hands on the award-winning 2021 Game of the Year, It Takes Two, along with Temtem and Aliens: Dark Descent.
Space Marine 2 challenges players to embody a Space Marine, equipped with superhuman skills and lethal weapons, to fend off the galaxy’s horrors. Take up arms in this epic battle across distant planets in both a captivating single-player campaign or thrilling 3-player co-op missions, offering endless replayable challenges and intense PvP matches, where up to six players can clash for glory.
With all these exciting developments, Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 continues to solidify its place in the hearts of action-adventure enthusiasts around the globe, and it promises an exhilarating December for PlayStation fans.
