Many Warhammer fans are eagerly anticipating the next major installment in the long-running series: Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. This sequel to the often-overlooked 2011 title has console players ready and waiting, but PC players face a different challenge.

Before diving into the action, PC players need to ensure their hardware meets the game's demands. Fortunately, the developer, Relic Entertainment, has released the official system requirements. As with most modern games, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 will only run on Windows 10/11 64-bit; older versions of Windows simply won’t suffice. The rest of the requirements are mentioned below.

It seems that Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 will be playable for most PC players, as even an 8-year-old GPU is supported. If you're not concerned with achieving the best visuals and framerate, you can get by with a Radeon RX 580 or a GeForce GTX 1060 as your GPU. However, you'll need at least 6 GB of VRAM to avoid significant performance issues.

For the CPU, a Ryzen 5 2600X or Core i5-8600K should suffice. Additionally, you'll need 8 GB of RAM and 75 GB of free storage space, which must be on an SSD; using an HDD will cause performance problems. With this hardware, you'll be able to run the game at 1080p @ 30 FPS with Low settings.

To run the game with better visuals, you'll naturally need more powerful hardware. If you want to enjoy Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 at 1080p @ 60 FPS with Ultra settings, you'll require some high-end components. This includes a Ryzen 5 5800X or Core i7-12700 as CPU and a Radeon RX 6800 XT or GeForce RTX 3070 as GPU. Additionally, you'll need 8 GB of VRAM, 16 GB of RAM, and 75 GB of SSD storage.

The developer hasn't revealed the system requirements for playing the game at higher resolutions like 1440p or 4K. Understandably, these settings will demand more powerful hardware, but upscaling technology can help make the game more accessible on mid-range systems. While this may result in a slight loss of visual clarity, the significant increase in FPS is a trade-off most players are willing to make.
