Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine Remaster Appears Headed to PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2
AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
A recent ESRB rating leak suggests that Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine - Master Crafted Edition is finally expanding beyond PC and Xbox to launch on PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2.
When Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine - Master Crafted Edition dropped last year, the decision to limit the remaster to PC and Xbox Series X/S left a lot of players scratching their heads. Even with a day one appearance on Game Pass, the absence of PlayStation and Nintendo versions felt like a strange move for a major franchise. Fortunately, recent updates spotted by Sherif Saed at Eurogamer indicate that the platform exclusivity may finally be coming to an end.
An official listing on the US rating board, the ESRB, recently added references for both PS5 and Switch 2 versions of the game. While the rating page was quickly scrubbed of those specific platform mentions after the leak went public, this kind of premature filing usually points to an upcoming official reveal rather than a simple administrative error. It is a win for cross-platform accessibility, letting more of the community dive into the action regardless of their preferred hardware.
At the same time, opening up to new platforms gives the developers a fresh chance to win over the community. The Master Crafted Edition had a rough start on Steam, launching with mostly negative user reviews before climbing back up to a mixed status. Bringing the game to Sony and Nintendo ecosystems means a brand new audience gets to experience the classic hack and slash carnage, provided the port quality hits the mark players expect today. You can read the original reporting over at Eurogamer.
For players, this potential expansion means the community will soon grow across even more hardware ecosystems. As digital ownership, cross-play, and multi-platform releases continue to shape how we experience both classic revivals and brand new titles, keeping games accessible to everyone remains key. We will keep an eye out for an official announcement from the publishers regarding the exact release dates for these new ports.
