Space Marine 2 officially releases on Sept. 9, and eager players can dive in much earlier through early access—an increasingly common practice in the gaming industry. Of course, the privilege comes at a price.

Here’s everything you need to know about Space Marine 2 early access.

The only way to get early access to Space Marine 2 is to preorder one of the special editions of the game. By purchasing either the Gold, Ultra, or Collector’s editions of Space Marine 2, you get four days of early access from Sept. 4.

Early access for Space Marine 2 begins at 4am PT/6am CT/7am ET/12pm BST/9pm AEST on Sept. 4 for players on PlayStation or Xbox.

Any players with early access on PC have to wait a little while longer. This comes as another blow, as preload isn’t available on the platform. Early access for Space Marine 2 on PC begins on Sept. 4 at 9am PT/11am CT/12pm ET/5pm BST/2am AEST (Sept. 5).

If you’re not prepared to splash out for early access, you can at least earn some exclusive goodies from Twitch drops.
