Dead Space Remake preload size – Xbox Series X|S, PS5, PC
But how much (Dead) space will you need to make room for Issac’s return? Well, according to the game’s Steam listing, on PC you’ll require 50GB of available space on your HDD. The requirements also recommend you have have the game installed on a SATA, to make everything nice and quick.
Over on Xbox, the game’s Xbox Store page gives an approximation of 32GB of space you’ll need free on your hard drive if you want to play the game on Xbox Series X|S.
At the time of writing, a filesize for the PlayStation 5 version hasn’t been confirmed on the PlayStation Store page or by EA/Motive – though we’d be surprised if it was much bigger than the Xbox version. We’ll update when it arrives on the PlayStation Store.
The Dead Space Remake will launch on January 27, 2023 on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and PC.
