Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 Best Settings
In our fight against the Tyranids, not only do we need guns, swords and the like, but we want to be able to lay waste to these critters as best as we can, and that’s where MP1st comes in. Below is our recommended Space Marine 2 best settings.
Space Marine 2 Best Settings:
Game Settings
General
- Performance Mode (Consoles) – Speed – You still expect some frame dips, but overall, performance seemed solid on both the PS5 and Xbox Series X. This is definitely a game that looks and plays better with higher frames instead of locking it to 30 FPS for better resolution.
- Hemelt visibility – player preference, but turning this on will hide your character’s face with their helmet. In my opinion, this looks best.
Network
- Text Chat – Off – Again, user preference, but it does take up HUD space and is a bit of annoying to look at while playing.
Camera
- Aim Assist – Either default or Strong.
- Camera Shake – Off unless you like your screen shaking during movement.
Audio
- Voice chat – You can find the voice chat option here, and I know many prefer to turn this off to avoid accidental talking.
Accessibility
- Automatic Attention Focus – On – I know this can be annoying, but while playing through the campaign, I actually missed a lot of these little prompts that I wished I had caught. You can easily miss out on some cool scenes.
- Subtitles Background – On – Normally, I’m not a fan of having a background on subtitles, but I think Space Marine 2 does them pretty well where it’s not distracting.
PC (Ultra)
Based on an RTX 4090 and AMD 7900X build
Video/Graphical Options
- Render Resolution – Balance – The game isn’t pushing pixels, though aiming for full performance at the cost of resolution can sometimes appear blurry. Balance gives you a nice looking picture along with for the most stable framerate.
- Resolution Upscaling
- DLSS for RTX cards
- AMD FSR2 for AMD and other non-DLSS supported cards.
- V-Sync – On
- Motion Blur Intensity – Off or Low
- FPS Limit—It all depends on what you are targeting for resolution and performance. For 4K, I kept it at 60 FPS and lowered my resolution to 1440P for 120 FPS to ensure frames remained stable.
- Quality Preset—Ultra—If you have an RTX 4090 GPU, you can likely handle Space Marine 2 at its maximum settings. Everything can be turned on to its highest presets.
Scale down according to your hardware. Recommend turning reflections and shadows down if you notice performance issues.
