Space Marine devs offering refunds amid negative remaster reviews

by

Following a bumpy debut and predominantly unfavorable critiques, the developers of the remastered version of Warhammer 40k Space Marine have chosen to give players the option for a complete refund and also a reduced price upgrade instead.

Initially, fans were quite eager for the Space Marine remaster before its launch. However, their enthusiasm shifted dramatically once it was released on June 10, 2025.

The Master Crafted Edition of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine was advertised as offering enhancements in terms of quality-of-life and graphics. Yet, since its launch, some players have expressed disappointment, claiming that the improvements aren’t evident and the game doesn’t seem to be worth its price tag due to bugs. Additionally, they feel that it only has slight visual upgrades.

With “Mostly Negative” reviews piling up since then, devs have now announced in a new post on Steam that they’re offering players a full refund for those who regret their purchase.

Warhammer 40k Space Marine devs are offering a full refund as well as a big discount

The developers have stated that if you’ve bought the game, you can request a complete refund up until 6PM British Summer Time (or 10PM Pacific Standard Time) on July 10, 2025 – which is when their Summer Sale concludes.

Under this refund policy, the length of time spent playing doesn’t matter. So, if you’ve played for over the standard two hours on Steam, you’re still eligible to submit a refund request and potentially receive a refund.

Alongside a complete refund option, developers are also providing a 50% reduction in price for individuals interested in buying the Master Crafted edition.

Individuals who currently possess the Anniversary Edition are entitled to the discount automatically. However, those who bought the Master Crafted Edition must initially ask for a refund, complete the transaction, and subsequently repurchase the game to receive the reduced price.

For those who decide to stay committed, the creators have outlined some strategies they intend to introduce down the line.

In the coming weeks, we’ll be making several enhancements and bug fixes to enhance your experience. These updates will cover areas like better localization, controller settings, and crucial terms, as well as user interface and user experience improvements, additional platform and controller compatibility, and more.

As these modifications take effect, we’ll keep on listening, making improvements, and keeping the lines of communication open. We appreciate your patience throughout this process,” the developers noted.
