Limited ammunition and claustrophobic environments amp up the horror in Dead Space, and players are filled with tension while guiding Isaac Clarke on his mission to learn the truth, all while having to upgrade weapons and engage in combat that is much more tactical than the average shooter. The remake is being built with EA’s Frostbite engine, and it will be exclusive to the new-gen consoles and PC, ensuring that this will be the most premium version of Dead Space that gamers have ever had the opportunity to buy.

EA Play and Xbox Game Pass Access
For players who play on the latest consoles, it is important to remember that all Electronic Arts games come with a 10% discount for EA Play members, which can be attained through Xbox Game Pass or purchased as an add-on in the PlayStation Store. Along with saving 10% on every EA game, Xbox Game Pass has tons of great games available for players to experience at any time, with more always on the way to keep the library fresh. For players using PS5, every digital version of Dead Space will be available there as well, but they won’t be accompanied by the 10% discount.
As with many AAA game releases, Dead Space is releasing with multiple different editions that range from physical to digital, and some benefits will appeal to players more than others. Some editions of Dead Space have been fully revealed, while others have promised premium content that will presumably be announced or confirmed prior to launch, but there are no concrete details yet and gamers will have to keep that in mind when making a purchasing decision.
Standard and Digital Deluxe Editions
The Standard Edition of Dead Space has a base price of $69.99 on the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, and it retails for $59.99 on PC. Currently, there are no pre-order bonuses displayed, so players who purchase the Standard Edition are likely to just get the remake, along with better graphics, combat, and faster loading times in Dead Space.
The Digital Deluxe Edition of Dead Space features the base game for new-gen consoles, plus a couple of nice bonuses to get players started, especially for those who enjoy collecting different cosmetic items. The Digital Deluxe Edition includes three unique suits aside from Isaac’s base engineering suit in the game, as well as two suit textures that will give them a different look. It costs an extra $10 USD at $79.99, but big fans of Dead Space might find the extra price worth it for the different suits at launch. It’s possible that EA reveals more about the Dead Space Deluxe Edition soon, but for now, it is just additional suit items.
Dead Space Remake Collector’s Edition
If fans want more than Dead Space’s Standard and Digital Deluxe Editions, the Collector’s Edition delivers a dream bundle for die-hard fans of the space horror franchise. The Collector’s Edition includes a physical copy of Dead Space, as well as a CD soundtrack, four mini posters, a lithograph print, steelbook, pin, and more. It doesn’t include a real-life plasma cutter from Dead Space, but the centerpiece of the Collector’s Edition is a full-size, wearable helmet identical to Isaac’s helmet in the game, with working lights that will look great on any fan’s display shelf. At $274.99 USD through Limited Run Games for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, the Dead Space Collector’s Edition definitely isn’t cheap, but for hardcore fans of the franchise and its lore, it just might be the thing their collections have been missing.
The Dead Space remake will release on January 27, 2023, on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
