Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 has received a free update in the form of a texture pack. This makes for an even nicer game, but there is a catch.
What kind of update is this? Developer Saber Interactive and publisher Focus Entertainment are currently teasing Space Marine 2 fans with nerfs, and are now giving them a free graphics update. Specifically, it’s about a texture pack for a sharp 4K experience.
The installation is quite easy. The update can be downloaded on PC via Steam or Epic Games. Sounds good, right? Well, there is a not insignificant problem that players with weaker hardware face.

Apart from this optional graphics update, Space Marine 2 will continue to be maintained by the developers in the near future.
