Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 Patch 5 to Add PS5 Pro Support, Dark Angels Chapter Pack, and More

Saber Interactive has announced the upcoming features in Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 Patch 5.0, set for release in the first half of December. The patch will introduce native PS5 Pro support, the Dark Angels Chapter Pack, and Operation: Obelisk, along with other key updates.

Alongside the upcoming update info, Saber also announced that Space Marine 2 has now amassed five million players to date! In case you were wondering whether the game was a success or not, well, it’s pretty evident it is.

Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 PS5 Pro Features Arriving in First Half of December

For PS5 Pro users, the enhanced version of the game will offer two preset modes: Quality and Performance, both with improvements. In Quality mode, the framerate will be locked at 30fps, with a dynamic resolution scaling between 1080p and 2160p, using PSSR for upscaling. On the base PS5, the resolution will range from 1080p to 1440p, with upscaling to 4K via FSR.

In Performance mode, players can expect 60fps at a resolution of 1080p-1440p, with upscaling to 4K via PSSR. This represents a significant leap over the 720p-1080p range of the PS5 version, at least on paper. However, thorough testing will be required after the patch is released to fully assess the improvements.

The patch will also add the Dark Angels Chapter Pack, which brings the Dark Angels Champion, a unique armor set, and a new banner for the Bulwark class. Players will also receive additional weapons and armor, adding depth and variety to the game.

Another major feature of Patch 5.0 is Operation: Obelisk, a new mission that runs parallel to the final events of the campaign. In this mission, players will be sent to Demerium, where they must rotate a replica of an obelisk to disrupt the energy flow of the Aurora device. However, the mission will be far from easy, as players will be under siege by the forces of Chaos, including a new enemy type: the Tzaangor Enlightened. These enemies will also appear in other operations following the patch’s release.

For PC gamers, Patch 5.0 will also introduce support for NVIDIA’s Frame Generation DLSS and FSR 3, offering enhanced graphical performance and smoother gameplay.
