Co-op and multiplayer play are staple features of games like Space Marine 2, as exterminating aliens and other such beings with your trusted plus one can never get old. But as games evolve, so do their multiplayer features, making them more complex.

Unlocking the multiplayer in Space Marine 2 is slightly different and is not available from the get-go.

So, if you have just hopped into Space Marine 2 but aren’t able to play multiplayer with your friends or with random players via matchmaking, keep reading our guide as it explains how to unlock and play multiplayer in Space Marine 2.

How to unlock multiplayer in Space Marine 2

In Space Marine 2, you can unlock the multiplayer feature, including the PvP, by completing the game’s tutorial mission and talking to the NPC, Captain Acheran.

Once you do that, you will get the message on the right side confirming that online play is available now. After that, you can access the different multiplayer features.

For Space Marine veterans who want to hop into the PvP and PvE game modes with their friends as soon as possible, we recommend skipping the intro mission, granted you already know the game’s controls well.

To skip the intro mission, head to the pause menu by pressing the ‘ESC’ button on your keyboard, the ‘≡’ on your DualSense controller, or the equivalent button on different consoles and select the ‘Skip Intro’ option.
