Space Marine 2 Streamer Plays With Ring Fit

Key points

  • A Warhammer streamer played Space Marine 2 using a Ring Fit, transforming the game from a fantasy power game into a fantastical workout.
  • It’s surprisingly easy to set up, so you can try it out yourself if you really want. All you need is Bluetooth, a third-party driver, and the Ring Fit itself.



Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 isn’t that hard of a game. It’s mostly power fantasy, handing you a giant chainsword and a ridiculous horde of bugs to destroy. Plug in a Nintendo Ring Fit, however, and it goes from bravery and glory to one hell of a workout.

Here's what YouTuber Hellstorm Wargaming did, using a third-party driver to turn their Ring Fit into an Xbox controller. They had to run in place the entire match to move Titus, and after an hour and a half, they were so exhausted that they fell off an unobstructed bridge. But the stream went on for another hour as they kept pushing, refusing to give up.

I can't concentrate anymore, I'm so tired […] I'm just tired, and that's okay. I think I'm very brave to say that out loud.


Hellstorm even used Ring Fit in the competitive PvP mode, but it was so “horrible” that they called it a day with their only kill, rightfully proud given the giant clunky wheel they had to frantically spin; “I think that's it, I think that's it for the Space Marine 2 Ring Fit adventure, oh my god I'm so tired. I'm so tired.”


You can do it yourself if you really want to.

If you want to play Space Marine 2 with a Ring Fit on your own, it’s surprisingly easy to set up. All you have to do is download the Ringcon driver, which converts the inputs to those of an Xbox 360 controller.


You can then connect the two Joy-Con needed to use the peripheral via Bluetooth (they are displayed separately) and leave the driver running in the background. Once this is done, attach one Joy-Con to your Ring Fit and the other to your leg with the strap.
