A Quality mode will run at 4K and 30FPS with ray tracing.

The Dead Space Twitter shared the two different graphical modes that players on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S will get to choose from. Go for the eye candy and lower framerate, or go for slightly less eye candy at 60FPS. The choice is yours.

The developers at Motive and EA laid bare what sort of graphical settings you will get to choose from. You can choose the Quality mode and run Dead Space at 30FPS but at 4K resolution with ray tracing enabled. Alternatively, the Performance mode will run at 60FPS at 2K (1440p) resolution and no ray tracing.


It should probably be noted here that while not specified anywhere, these target framerates and resolutions are probably for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. I would expect that the Xbox Series S to, at the very least, run at lower resolutions when compared to the Series X. Other graphical settings may also be scaled back on the less powerful Xbox console.

On the PC side of things, the waters are a but more muddied. The only information provided about the PC release are the minimum specs and the recommended specs. There is no information provided about what resolution, framerate, or visual features are being targeted with these requirements. These PC requirements were shared already in October 2022. We will share them again below in case you missed them the first go around.

But first, let's take a look at the Dead Space launch trailer. Dead Space will be out on January 27, 2023 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
