Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 surpasses 5 million copies sold

Released over a decade following its first entry, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 launched in September to a wave of success; both critically and commercially. Just 3 months on and the game has already hit its first major milestone of 5 million copies sold.

Making the announcement as part of their November community update, the Space Marine 2 team at Saber Interactive celebrated the milestone, saying:

“5 million Space Marines have joined our ranks to purge Xenos & Chaos! Huge thanks to everyone who's joined the fight. It’s been incredible to see the community grow (and to keep seeing it grow)! Here’s to many more battles ahead.”

Space Marine 2 managed to sell an impressive 2 million copies in its first 24 hours, however given how front-loaded many game sales are, it having pushed a further 3 million since is impressive indeed.

Hopefully the game only continues to improve with time and as more content gets added.
