Excitement is in the air for fans of Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 as Sony has announced something special for next month. In December 2024, PS Plus Premium subscribers will be treated to a game trial of the captivating sci-fi action-adventure game. Coinciding with PlayStation’s 30th anniversary celebrations, this trial offers a fantastic opportunity to dive into one of the year’s standout titles for free.
The recent release of Space Marine 2, crafted by Saber Interactive, quickly captured the attention of both critics and players. Since it hit the shelves in September 2024, the game has amassed over 4.5 million players, and that number just keeps climbing. Though Saber Interactive faced a few bumps in the road with community feedback about updates, they’ve been swift in addressing these issues. Anticipation is also building for the slew of new content promised for December.
Beyond fresh content, PS5 gamers have another reason to be excited. A recent announcement on the PlayStation Blog confirmed that starting December 3, 2024, Space Marine 2 fans on PS Plus Premium can explore the game trial. It’s a rare treat as high-profile game trials are infrequently added to the service—June 2024 saw the addition of Stellar Blade’s trial, and now, Space Marine 2 joins this exclusive club.
Dive into PS Plus Premium’s Upcoming Offerings
New Game Trial:
- Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2
New Classic Games:
- Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy

December is shaping up to be a month to remember for PlayStation fans, especially with its 30th anniversary. While details about the duration of Space Marine 2’s trial remain under wraps, PS Plus Premium typically offers two-hour access to major titles. It will be fascinating to see if this trial leads to a sales boost for Space Marine 2.
But the 30th-anniversary celebrations don’t stop at game trials. Subscribers will also receive three beloved PS2 classics. For those with a PS Plus Essential subscription, titles like the 2021 Game of the Year, It Takes Two, the Pokemon-inspired MMO Temtem, and the strategy hit Aliens: Dark Descent are on the horizon.
In Space Marine 2, players step into the heavy armor of a Space Marine, the pinnacle of the Emperor’s mighty fighters. The game plunges them into intense battles, either alone or with friends, against the relentless Tyranid swarms. Whether in the heat of a solo campaign or co-op skirmishes, players must wield their skills and weaponry to uncover dark secrets and defend humanity from the eternal void of the cosmos.
Released on September 9, 2024, with support for up to six players and cross-platform play on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, Space Marine 2 is an exhilarating experience that keeps fans returning for more. With this trial in December, Sony continues to enhance its PS Plus Premium offerings and celebrate PlayStation’s enduring legacy in the gaming world.
