Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Motion Sickness: Why It Happens & What Helps
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is a third-person action game about fighting Tyranid swarms. An official Steam announcement in September 2024 said the team was not comfortable adding a field of view slider. A PC slider arrived with update 6.0 in February 2025. Camera Shake and Motion Blur Intensity have their own settings, and Steam lists Camera Comfort among the game's accessibility features.

Why Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 can trigger motion sickness
The camera stays on your Space Marine in third person. The same announcement called it a cinematic camera that constantly changes position and field of view as you play. Camera shake adds more movement on top. On PC you can widen the view with the slider and turn Motion Blur Intensity off. Camera Shake sits in the general game settings.
