Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Preload Consoles and Times, Early Access Release Time, and Official Release Time

If you're looking forward to Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2's release, then you might have already ordered the game and be wondering, "When will preload be available?". In a recent FAQ thread, we got a lengthy response to all of the burning questions, like pre-load and release times. Here's everything you need to know!

Let's talk first a bit about the preload consoles and times, as not every console will be able to preload at the same time (if at all). The Xbox Series X|S gets a head-start, as preloads are available right now, while PlayStation 5 will see the preloads unlocked on the 3rd of September for Early Access owners and on the 7th of September for those who pre-ordered the Standard Edition. Meanwhile, PC will not be able to preload the game at all.

Another thing we got to look at is the release times. For Early Access users, the game will be coming out on the 5th (or 6th) of September (depending on your location). Here are the times given for PC by the graphics:

5th of September:

• 9:00 AM — Los Angeles
• 11:00 AM — Austin
