Tapping into our collective nostalgia for turn-of-the-century classics, one of the most loved and lauded immersive sims is getting the remaster treatment. Aptly dubbed Deus Ex Remastered, it promises to reinvigorate the cult classic with all the modern niceties we’ve come to expect.For better or for worse, it’s not a ground-up rework a la Demon’s Souls or System Shock 2. Still, it’s not a hasty spruce up either: upscaled textures, rebuilt character models, lip-synced dialogue, and, for console players, optimized controller support are just a taste of what’s coming. Here’s everything we know about Deus Ex Remastered.
- Deus Ex will release on February 5, 2026.
- It will launch on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.
- The game will retail for $29.99 (£24.99).
- Enhancements include a visual overhaul and quality-of-life improvements.
Deus Ex Remastered release date
Deus Ex Remastered is set to release on February 5, 2026. The good news was beamed out as part of PlayStation’s September 2025 State of Play, where publisher Eidos-Montréal and developer Aspyr dropped not just the release but also a trailer to set the mood. If not Bloodborne for PC, then Deus Ex is as good as it gets for consolation prizes.
A slight snag for Nintendo Switch players: Deus Ex Remastered is currently in “coming soon” purgatory. This could mean a slight wait compared to other platforms.
Deus Ex Remastered gameplay and trailer analysis
Aspyr and Eidos-Montréal have released one trailer so far. It’s a pithy 30 seconds and showcases all the improvements bundled in Deus Ex Remastered. This includes the lighting and texture work, which aim to soften some of the more angular, shadowy elements of the original. Otherwise, it’s Deus Ex as we know and love it, with the mood, story, and characters intact.
As for the granular details, here’s a quick list of enhancements:
- Reimagined lighting, dynamic shadows, water physics, particle effects, and fully updated textures.
- New character models with lip-sync animations and ragdoll physics.
- Autosaves, faster loading, achievement tracking, and cloud saves across supported platforms.
- Controller support with refined radial menus, fluid weapon management, and streamlined navigation.
- 4K-ready UI, ultrawide, and multi-monitor display support.
Deus Ex Remastered platforms
Deus Ex Remastered will be available on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. Sony seemingly won the coin flip and snagged the announcement, but a suitably enticing Steam page has confirmed the PC version. The remaining platforms were revealed in an identical trailer posted on the official Aspyr YouTube channel.
Deus Ex Remastered pricing predictions
Deus Ex Remastered will be priced at $29.99 in the US and £24.99 in the UK, as confirmed by listings on Steam, the PlayStation Store, and Microsoft Store. Though not in the AAA $70 ballpark, it’s still a steep rise compared to the amount you’d need to fork out for the original 2000 version on Steam.
Why we’re excited for Deus Ex Remastered
It’s rare to see the Deus Ex name flash up in our news feed in anything other than a justifiably fawning retrospective, so to have a game, albeit a remaster, announced is like kindling to fire for the excitement levels of series fans. To put this feeling into context, nearly a decade has passed since the release of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.
While many remasters could be respectfully described as lazy, Deus Ex Remastered is pulling out all the stops short of a full-on remake. The freshened-up visuals reimagined lighting and particle effects, and fully updated textures are a draw, but the real pull is in the quality-of-life improvements, such as autosave, speedy load times, and native controller support. The core experience will remain intact, but the original’s more jarring, of-its-time annoyances are being smoothed out.
Lastly, the original Deus Ex is exclusively available on PC. The remaster will be the first time the classic immersive sim will be available on consoles.
