These remasters are extremely useful for everyone involved. Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered turned out really well and it’s looking like the Mass Effect trilogy is getting a much-needed facelift as well. Now, we do on occasion get remakes and remasters of classic games from EA and most of the time they are fine. Unfortunately, it seems that the opposite is actually closer to the case. If last-gen players want to play the Dead Space Remake, they will need to upgrade to a PC or somehow get their hands on a PS5 or Xbox Series X|S.Given that EA has such a massive backlog of excellent games and legions of players who fondly remember most of them, you would think the game publishing giant would be churning out remasters and remakes around the clock.

Games like the Dead Space Remake make use of impressive graphics while keeping performance strong, which is something only achievable on the current-gen consoles and modern PC hardware. Modern titles simply wouldn’t be able to run in their intended state on the last-gen consoles. The PS4 and Xbox One were released a decade ago, and games are getting more advanced by the year. More and more developers are phasing out the last-gen consoles because of their technical limitations.

While we can’t rule this out entirely, it seems extremely unlikely that this possibility comes to fruition. The only possibility that last-gen console fans would have is if the developers decide to release a significantly toned-down version of the Dead Space Remake.

It’s likely that the Dead Space Remake wouldn’t run whatsoever on either the PS4 or the Xbox One. This is in large part because developer Motive Studios designed the game with modern technology in mind. Unfortunately for those on the last-generation consoles, the Dead Space Remake is likely not being released on anything but modern hardware. Is the Dead Space Remake coming to PS4? Provided by EA
