Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 Confirms DRM-Free Experience

Saber Interactive confirms a DRM-free launch for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. This means no digital rights management software, such as Denuvo, will hinder gameplay. Let's delve into the details surrounding this decision and other game features.

Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2: A DRM-Free Experience

No Microtransactions, Either

In a recent FAQ, Saber Interactive clarified several key aspects of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 ahead of its September 9th release. The absence of DRM is a significant point, addressing player concerns about potential performance impacts often associated with such software. Past examples, like Enigma DRM's issues with Monster Hunter Rise, highlight the potential downsides.

While foregoing DRM, the developers will utilize Easy Anti-Cheat on the PC version to combat cheating. The use of Easy Anti-Cheat has previously faced scrutiny, notably within the Apex Legends community following a hacking incident.

The game will launch without official mod support, which may disappoint some players. However, the developers are offering a robust experience with features such as a PvP arena, horde mode, and a comprehensive photo mode. Importantly, Saber Interactive emphasizes that all core gameplay content remains free from microtransactions. Any monetization will be strictly limited to cosmetic items.
