Pre-production began in 2008, immediately following the release of the original Dead Space. The game included a competitive multiplayer, with the Sprawl's security forces fighting teams of Necromorphs. Gameplay features Isaac exploring a series of levels, solving puzzles to progress, and finding resources while fighting off Necromorphs. The second mainline entry in the Dead Space series, set on the Titan-based Sprawl space station, the story follows series protagonist Isaac Clarke as he fights against both an outbreak of the monstrous Necromorphs and debilitating mental illness induced by the alien Markers. It was released for PlayStation 3, Windows, and Xbox 360 in January. But this Dead Space one is definitely new, the horror remake is worth your time according to our Dead Space review, and I'd like to see more free trials in general.Dead Space 2 is a 2011 survival horror game developed by Visceral Games and published by Electronic Arts. Have I seen a free trial on Steam before? Maybe. Dead Space's own launch wasn't bad, although it has issues on Steam Deck. At a time when several PC ports have had less than stellar launches, including EA's own Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, a way for people to give them a spin without spending money first seems like a good idea. Dead Space is also 20% off for the duration.įree trials are useful because they offer, among other things, a chance to test whether a game will work on your PC.

The free trial is seemingly only available between now and May 29th, so youy have around two weeks to give it a try. If you press the button, it'll prompt you to download and install the trial, which requires a little over 36GB of drive space. There's a Play Now button and text showing how many minutes of playtime you have remaining.

If you visit Dead Space's Steam store page in the Steam client, you'll see a box at the top of the page, between the trailers and the purchase options, which reads "Try Dead Space - Free Trial".
