Earlier this week, we unveiled our official review of the upcoming Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 here at Pure Xbox, and we called it "one of the best action games we've played in a long while". In other words, we love it!

There's obviously a lot of buzz about this one amongst the Xbox community (and beyond) right now, and it actually becomes playable as of today for certain buyers... so we thought we'd break down all the release dates, release times and a few other details you might want to know before Space Marine 2 goes live on Xbox in a few hours' time.

Space Marine 2 Preload For Xbox Series X|S

If you've already pre-ordered Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 for Xbox, you should be able to begin installing now regardless of which version you're going for. It clocks in at just under 60GB on Xbox Series X.

Alternatively, you can use the official Xbox mobile app to download the game ahead of time even if you haven't bought it. Simply load up the app, link your console to it, and then search for the game and hit "Download To Console".

Is Space Marine 2 Coming To Xbox One?

Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 will not be coming to Xbox One as things stand.
