Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Update 7.0 patch notes – Private lobbies, new weapon, and more

Take a brief respite from eradicating alien scum, as Saber Interactive and Focus Entertainment have released an update for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 on April 15, 2025, available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

7.0 Update introduces the long-desired feature to establish exclusive PvP arenas, enabling players to engage in friendly competition against one another without external intrusions. This change also paves the way for hosting a competitive tournament. Moreover, both PvP and PvE experiences receive an enhancement with the introduction of a novel weapon, namely the Inferno Pistol, which serves as a secondary option for Sniper, Heavy, Assault, and Vanguard characters.

As a devoted player, I’m thrilled about the latest updates focusing on PvE gameplay! The developers have expanded our arsenal with new weapons and introduced an exciting new Operation called Exfiltration. This operation unfolds on Avarax where we work together to guide a renegade Tech-Priest through the devastated ruins of war. Notably, a formidable Trygon awaits us in this mission!

Moreover, I can’t wait to dive into the significant overhaul they’ve made to weapon perks within PvE gameplay. These changes promise to make each battle more engaging and rewarding!
