The PlayStation Plus catalog continues to expand with the regular arrival of new games. In March 2026, Sony is offering subscribers the opportunity to discover a title particularly popular with action fans. Starting March 17, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 officially joins the PlayStation Plus catalog. PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium subscribers will be able to download and play this highly acclaimed action game for free when it is released.
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 arrives in the PS Plus catalog
This news only concerns subscribers to higher plans of the service. Players with a PS Plus Essential subscription will therefore not be able to access this game via their subscription. For PS Plus Extra and Premium members, the arrival of Space Marine 2 constitutes one of the most important new releases for the month of March in the catalog.
The title had already made waves when it joined Xbox Game Pass in January. On the Microsoft platform, it quickly established itself as one of the most played games. Its arrival on PlayStation Plus could therefore attract many new players to PS5.
A very popular shooter since its release
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is a third-person action game developed by Saber St. Petersburg and published by Focus Entertainment. The title combines shooting phases and close combat sequences inspired by hack and slash. Players take on the role of a Space Marine tasked with confronting hordes of enemies in the brutal and futuristic universe of Warhammer 40,000. Released in 2024, the game quickly met with great success among players. The sequel far exceeded the performance of the first episode released in 2011. In total, more than 4.5 million copies were sold.
A game praised by critics and players
Critics have also given this sequel a favorable reception. On the Metacritic aggregator, the scores awarded by the specialized press are between 80 and 83 depending on the versions of the game. The first episode rather posted scores between 70 and 76.
The game was also nominated for The Game Awards in several categories, including Best Action Game and Best Multiplayer Game. The players also seem to particularly appreciate the experience offered. On the PlayStation Store, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 has an average rating of 4.43 out of 5 based on over 29,000 reviews.
A fairly generous action campaign
For those who discover the game via PlayStation Plus, the main adventure offers a relatively solid lifespan. The main campaign can be completed in approximately 10-15 hours depending on play style. However, players wishing to explore the entire content and complete all activities can extend the experience well beyond that.
Some players estimate that the total duration can reach between 60 and 70 hours for completionists. With its arrival in the PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium catalog, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 could therefore attract a new wave of players curious to discover this very popular shooter.
