Still haven’t jumped into EA and Motive’s Dead Space remake? EA has a solution for that: a new time-limited demo for the Steam version of Dead Space that you can play right now.
Taking a similar approach to Capcom’s demo for the Resident Evil 2 remake, the Dead Space demo will only give you 90 minutes of playtime. On top of that, the demo will only be available from now until May 29th. The Dead Space demo is actually the first in a new feature that Steam is rolling out, where developers and publishers can offer limited-time free trials for their games.
In some ways, this new model benefits the developer, since before this, Steam would offer free weekends for games, where players could conceivably power through them in a weekend without having to buy it. This new model entices players to buy the game once their trial is up. Of course, it also helps that the Steam version of Dead Space has a 20% discount from now until May 29, so you see how this works.
The Dead Space remake is also available on the Epic Games Store for PC, as well as the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series. And just in case you missed it, check out Reyna’s review of the remake. And if you’re keen for a second opinion, Jay and Neil offered up their two cents on the Safe Room Podcast.
