• Motion Blur Intensity: Off
• Resolution Upscaling: DLSS
• Render Resolution: Balanced
• Texture Filtering: High
• Texture Resolution: Medium or High (depending on your GPU)
• Shadows: Medium
• SSAO: Default
• Screen Space Reflections: Default
• Volumetrics: Medium
• Effects: High
• Details: Medium
• Cloth Simulation: Medium

Space Marine 2 is a fast-paced game and is designed to be played with swift and precise inputs. This is why we always recommend playing the game with the highest FPS possible. Hence, we recommend setting effects like Details and cloth simulations to medium to give the GPU more room to load textures and effects more effectively.

For controls, try to bind the gun aim button to something more comfortable than the default mouse wheel button. Personally, I bound my aim button to the side buttons on my gaming mouse. If the side buttons aren't an option for you, then try to rebind it to a keyboard key that you are comfortable with. Some great choices are: Q, Tab, and left Alt.

The title doesn't have detailed setting options like PC on consoles; however, players can still choose to play the game according to their preferences. On PlayStation 5, it is recommended to use the Quality mode preset settings for Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2. Although we recommend playing the game at the highest possible FPS, on PS5 the Speed mode results in frequent quality drops, which is why we believe the stable 30 FPS on Quality is the best.

On the other hand, the Xbox Series X handles the Speed mode preset settings for Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 much better. Although you still lose a lot of graphical details, the console delivers a much more stable game on Speed mode. Nevertheless, Quality remains a great choice for Xbox too, as the stable 30 FPS with good details puts out a great gaming experience.
