Now Playing: Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 - Space Marine Arsenal Gameplay Trailer

Epic released this statement to clarify Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2's usage of an Epic online services. The game installs an Epic Online Services client after the player accepts a EULA, even on Steam. Developer Focus confirmed in a forum post that the Epic client facilitates optional cross-play and syncs friend lists across services. However, linking Steam and Epic accounts is completely optional and will not affect gameplay.

Earlier this year, Earth Defense Force 6 got criticized for requiring an Epic Games login for online play. Helldivers 2 faced similar complaints for requiring a PSN login. As for Space Marine 2, the sequel has broken Warhammer records. Nearly a quarter-million players booted the game up on Steam, besting Total Warhammer III's previous concurrent player-count.
