Space Marine 2’s latest updates add Terminator Sorcerers and Steam Workshop support, so you can now play co-op with 9 other players if you want
Space Marine 2 has received new updates introducing Terminator Sorcerers as playable or enemy units, alongside official Steam Workshop support, expanding the ways players can experience Games Workshop's Warhammer 40,000 shooter. The changes broaden both the game's customisation options and its cooperative scope, letting the community create and share content while also enabling much larger group sessions than before.
The most notable practical change is that Steam Workshop integration now allows co-op sessions to be expanded to include up to nine other players, a significant increase from the game's original smaller squad-based format. Combined with the addition of Terminator Sorcerers, a heavily armoured and powerful unit type from the Warhammer 40,000 setting, the update gives players fresh enemies or allies to contend with, while modding support via Steam Workshop opens the door to community-made content extending the game's longevity.

Space Marine 2 is a video game based on Games Workshop's Warhammer 40,000 universe, in which players take on the role of heavily armoured super-soldiers fighting alien and demonic forces. Developed by Saber Interactive, the game became popular for its cooperative missions, in which small teams of players fight through hostile environments together.
Since launch, the developers have continued to expand the game through regular updates, adding new content, enemy types and features based on feedback from its player base. Games such as this often rely on ongoing support to keep players engaged long after release, with additions like new playable units or tools for the community to create their own content seen as ways of extending a game's lifespan.
Steam Workshop is a feature on the Steam gaming platform that lets players share user-made content, such as modifications, with others. Its inclusion in a game typically signals that the developers are opening the door to community involvement, alongside their own official updates.
