Less than two years old but still beloved by many, Saber Interactive’s Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 has recently crossed 12 million players. Focus Entertainment revealed the milestone on Twitter and thanked fans. “A couple years ago, we had great hopes for this project. Today, it has surpassed even our wildest dreams.”

Aside from its addition to Game Pass last January, it helps that the third-person shooter continues to receive significant content updates. Patch 13 is next, focusing primarily on Siege Mode. Players can expect more items for purchase, shorter sessions courtesy of a revamped difficulty, and accolades.

It also adds a new PvE mission, weapon, Techmarine customization options, the Iron Hands Chapter Pack and equipment. A new customization feature is also teased, and you can also play with three new Heroic weapon variants. There’s even more to look forward to with Patch 14 in Q2 2026 as it adds two new PvP arenas, PvP Stratagems, the Redacted Champion Pack and Raptors Cosmetic Pack.

Space Marine 2 hasn’t been completely devoid of controversy, though. The Chapter Voice Pack DLC, sold for $5 and promising 450 re-recorded lines, received significant backlash for misleading advertising. Saber and Focus would apologize for the same, refunding purchasers and making it free going forward.

As for even further into the future, Saber confirmed that Space Marine 3 is in the works, though it won’t be out any time soon.
