With Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 nearing its release, PC gamers are anxious about whether their rigs can handle the game. Despite the game going gold, official PC specs remain unreleased, leaving fans to speculate.
One user on Reddit expressed doubts about the game’s compatibility with the Steam Deck, noting the CPU and GPU-intensive gameplay showcased so far. Many fans don’t believe that the game will be supported for the Steam Deck at all at this point.
Will We Ever Get The System Requirements For Space Marine 2?
Fans have already been discussing the potential system requirements of Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2. And one question that fans have is whether the game will run on the Steam’s handheld.

Focus Entertainment’s announcement that the game went gone gold has only intensified these discussions. Fans are eager to know if their PCs, especially older models, can handle the game. Some fans have already started considering new graphics cards and processors in preparation.
Despite the lack of official specifications the hype for the game remains high. The game has been compared to other major releases like Red Dead Redemption 2 and God of War in terms of its anticipated impact and quality.

Saber Interactive has a lot riding on this release, and fans are hopeful that it will live up to the high expectations set by its predecessor and other successful game sequels.
It’s Quite Unlikely That The Game Will Support Steam’s Handheld
The developers at Saber Interactive have faced challenges during the game’s development, including a recent leak of a nearly finished build. The players who have tested the leaked build report that even high-end PCs struggle. This might mean that Steam Deck support might be unlikely without sacrificing performance or fidelity.

In light of these concerns, some fans are holding off on upgrading their PCs until the official specifications are released. Players equipped with GPUs like the RTX 3070 or 3080 are cautiously optimistic given past experiences with similarly demanding titles. Saber Interactive acknowledged the leak and told fans that the build is outdated and that optimization efforts are ongoing.
Pre-orders for the game have begun, with different editions available for purchase. The Ultra Edition includes additional content and early access to a DLC. But without knowing the system requirements, players are hesitant to commit, unsure if their current rigs can handle the game.
As the release date nears, the pressure is on for Saber Interactive to reveal the system requirements. Until the specs are confirmed, fans can only speculate and hope that their systems will be able to experience the game in the way that Saber intends.
