Space Marine 2 early access and global release times

Space Marine 2 early access is almost here, letting you revisit Titus around 13 years to the day that the first game launched back in 2011. Instead of fighting orks on a single planet, this time the Adeptus Astartes super soldier is attempting to fend off a tyranid hive fleet invading an entire system.

You'll have to bolt, slice, and rend your way through the hordes of xenos if you hope to repel the onslaught. The full release date for Space Marine 2 is September 9 (or 10 in some regions), but if you've pre-ordered one of the more expensive editions of the game, you can play four days early. All that said, here are the Space Marine 2 global release times, when early access starts, plus if there's a preload available.

Is there a Space Marine 2 preload?

Sadly, there isn't a preload option for Space Marine 2 on PC , meaning you'll just have to install it once the early access period begins or the game is released globally. If you haven't already, be sure to take a look at the system requirements to make sure you can run it. There's also a wider FAQ in the recent Steam blog post that detailed release times in case you're looking for any other answers.
