Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is out in September, and if you’re looking to join the Ultramarines in their quest to slaughter armies of Tyranids, you can see exactly how much PC power you need to join the fight. Publisher Focus Entertainment recommends a beefy RTX 3070 GPU with 8GB of VRAM to help render those swarms of homicidal species that originate from outside the galaxy, especially if you’re looking to get a 60fps experience.
You’ll also need a decent CPU and 16GB of RAM if you want to play the game in 1080p and at 60fps. In comparison, the minimum PC requirements are more forgiving if you’re using older hardware, although this targets 30fps at 1080p to help keep the game running smoothly. The mandatory requirement across all PCs is a solid-state drive with 75GB of storage capacity available, which will likely help process all the hundreds of heretics you’ll face on the battlefield.

Trailers for Space Marine 2 have shown off a very good-looking game so far, full of battle-damaged armor and crumbling citadels, so it’s not too surprising that the recommended requirements are on the more-demanding side.
Hardware requirements for 1440p or 4K haven’t been revealed yet, although it’s likely you’ll need a 40-series Nvidia GPU and more RAM to reach those high-performance graphical thresholds. Space Marine 2 will also launch for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on September 9.
Developer Saber Interactive recently confirmed that all gameplay content and features will be free to all players, as only cosmetics will be sold as premium DLC.
