The highly anticipated Dead Space remake has finally been released for all current-gen consoles and PCs via Steam, Epic Games Store, and the EA app. However, some fans are wondering if the recently released title is included with Electronic Arts' subscription-based service, EA Play.

EA Play, the subscription-based service by Electronic Arts, features two tiers, the base EA Play that provides players with a library of older and highly acclaimed titles, and the higher tier of EA Play Pro, offering the latest and greatest titles from the publisher, at a higher cost. Basic EA Play is also included with Xbox's own subscription-based service Game Pass in the PC Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate tiers.

The Dead Space remake is included with the higher-tier EA Play Pro, but not with the basic EA Play

Motive Studio's Dead Space remake beautifully captures the original survival-horror game's dark and gloomy atmosphere while reimagining it from the ground up for modern-day audiences. With the title being published by Electronic Arts, it has been included with the EA Play Pro tier for interested players to dive right into.

It should be noted that alongside NFS Unbound and FIFA 23, Dead Space isn't available on the lower-tier EA Play. Although it should eventually arrive in the base service, like other Electronic Arts titles, it will likely take at least six months to a year depending on the game's success, which has already garnered a positive response from fans and critics alike. Until then, players can enjoy the original Dead Space title from 2008, along with its two sequels on the base EA Play tier.

For now, interested players can either subscribe to EA Play Pro for $14.99 per month or buy the game from one of the many platform storefronts that it's available on.
