Dead Space remake hits all-time low of $6 on Steam during EA summer sale

EA Motive's 2023 Dead Space remake — widely regarded as one of the best remakes ever made — is down to $5.99 on Steam right now, a 90% discount from its usual $59.99 price tag. It's the lowest the game has ever been on the platform.

The deal is part of EA's ongoing summer sale on Steam, which has slashed prices across much of the publisher's catalog. Dead Space is the standout bargain: a third-person survival horror game that follows Isaac Clarke searching for his wife aboard the Necromorph-infested spacecraft USG Ishimura. The remake runs on the Frostbite engine, presents the entire game as a single continuous shot — similar to God of War: Ragnarok — and significantly overhauls the gore system when dismembering enemies. Weapon acquisition pacing and the antigravity sections were also reworked and feel noticeably better than in the 2008 original. Polygon's Michael McWhertor called it "the best possible version of Isaac Clarke's trek through a veritable hell."

Despite the critical reception, no sequel or follow-up is currently in development. EA Motive has shifted its focus entirely to Battlefield 6, leaving Dead Space's future uncertain for now.

If you've been sitting on the fence, $6 is about as low as this one is ever going to go.
