Dead Space's Remake will be a "native" app on Steam, EA Confirms
EA's games returned to Steam back in 2019, but that didn't mean that gamers could forget about the company's Origin client. Most modern EA games on Steam still require a form of EA's Origin client, and an EA Origin log-in. While you can now buy most modern EA games on Steam, they are still Origin apps.
Thankfully, EA has started to see the error of their ways, confirming that 2023's Dead Space remake will be a "native" Steam app, requiring no EA app or EA Origin login to function. If you buy the game on Steam, you will be getting it on Steam. Let's hope that EA's future Steam games will not require an Origin backdoor to function.
Dead Space's Remake is due to launch on January 27th on PC, Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5. EA has confirmed that the game will not be launching on PlayStation 4, despite recent reports of the contrary.
In the future, we hope that EA can drop Origin as a requirement for all of their games on Steam. That said, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor does list Origin as a requirement...
