How to get Early Access for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 (Advanced Access)?

You can now get early access for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 which will allow you to play the game roughly four days ahead of the official release date. The title developed by Saber Interactive and published by Focus Entertainment goes live on September 9, 2024. However, if you are a hardcore fan of the franchise, and would like to step into the shoes of Demetrian Titus a bit early, there's a way for you to do that.

There's nothing like purging a few Tyranids scum ahead of time. To do so, you will have to pre-order the game on Steam. Currently, there are two versions that will grant you early access (advanced access):

• Pre-Purchase Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 - Gold Edition (Preorder) - $99.99
• Pre-Purchase Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 - Ultra Edition (Preorder) - $109.99

The Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 (Pre-order) that costs $69.99+ will not give you early access (advanced access). That said, here is more information regarding early access (advanced access).

As stated by the developers, early access for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is a feature that allows users who have pre-purchased the game to play before its official release. In contrast to early access, advanced access will encompass the entirety of the game as it is.

The title isn't expected to undergo any changes prior to the official release date. The developers could release a day-1 patch, but that is yet to be announced. Furthermore, since this is advanced access and not early, progress is likely to be saved as well.

When it comes to refunds, you will be allowed to refund the product per Steam's refund policy. This refers to the standard 14 days of purchase and if the game has been played for less than two hours. If either of these criteria is not met, your refund request will be denied.

Additionally, when you pre-purchase an advanced access version of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 on Steam, you can request a refund at any time prior to the start of the advanced access. Keep in mind the standard 14-day refund period also applies and will not start until the release date.

Lastly, you will be allowed to review the game soon after you gain advanced access to it. This is similar to what would occur if you purchase the product in a standard manner. That's everything to know about early access for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2.
