During the early access phase of the gold version, some players expressed dissatisfaction with the installation of Epic Online, a program used to support cross-platform connections between Steam and Epic Games. However, the official statement clarified that this program does not require players to claim an account on the Epic Games platform, and uninstalling it does not affect the game’s performance.

In addition to the positive sales figures, the popularity of Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 is also reflected in the activity of the Steam platform. The game reached a peak online of 225,690 on the first day, demonstrating the enthusiasm of Warhammer 40K fans.
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is available on PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC, with a standard price of NT$1,590 on Steam.
