Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 left advanced access yesterday, launching to the masses while squashing an attempted review bomb campaign under its muddy blue-and-gold boots. But that's not its only impressive feat.

There are a lot of Warhammer games, too many to list here. But if you're interested in the top ten most-played titles across the franchise's history, here's a quick rundown:

  1. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 - 225,690
  2. Total War: Warhammer 3 - 166,754
  3. Total War: Warhammer - 113,019
  4. Warhammer 40,000: Darktide - 108,395
  5. Warhammer: Vermintide 2 - 104,323
  6. Total War: Warhammer 2 - 84,920
  7. Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader - 45,405
  8. Warhammer 40,000: Dawn Of War 3 - 25,676
  9. Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide - 24,70

At the time of writing, Space Marine 2 is the ninth-most played game on Steam over the past 24 hours, dethroning Grand Theft Auto 5, Deadlock, Rust, Baldur's Gate 3, Stardew Valley, and more.

Key Takeaways

  1. Space Marine 2 launched to advanced access last week and was immediately review bombed, dropping to 'Mixed' on Steam.
  2. The backlash came about because the game quietly installed the Epic Online Service, which isn't a second launcher, just a tool that allows for cross-platform play.
  3. Thankfully, the review bomb was short-lived as the game now sits at an impressive 'Very Positive' with over 30,000 reviews.^[[1] https://www.thegamer.com/warhammer-40k-space-marine-2-review-bomb-fails-launches-to-very-positive-steam/]
