EA has shared a partial list of system requirements for Motive’s new Dead Space remake on Steam, and they have been described by some as “scary.” Players who want to experience the game closer to how the developers intended will apparently need either an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X or 11th Gen Core i5-11600K processor, both of which are relatively new CPUs. Graphics card requirements are still to come, but Motive has urged Dead Space fans to add the game to their wishlists today.

About the game:
The sci-fi, survival-horror classic Dead Space returns, completely rebuilt from the ground up to offer a deeper and more immersive experience. Harnessing the power of the Frostbite™ game engine, this remake brings jaw-dropping visual fidelity, suspenseful atmospheric audio, and improvements to gameplay while staying faithful to the original game’s thrilling vision.
Isaac Clarke is an everyman engineer on a mission to repair a vast Planet Cracker-class ship, the USG Ishimura, only to discover something has gone horribly wrong. The ship’s crew has been slaughtered and Isaac’s beloved partner, Nicole, is lost somewhere on board.
Now alone and armed with only his engineering tools and skills, Isaac races to uncover the nightmarish mystery of what happened aboard the Ishimura in hopes of finding Nicole. Trapped with hostile creatures called Necromorphs, Isaac faces a battle for survival not only against the escalating terrors of the ship but his own crumbling sanity.
Dead Space will officially launch on January 27, 2023 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, according to an EA press release from May. The Steam version of the game will require Origin running in the background, similar to other major EA titles on the platform, such as Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.
