The critically-acclaimed Dead Space remake gets a 90-minute free demo on Steam. Read on to learn how to play the demo and whether other developers will offer equally-long demos for their games.
Dead Space Remake has a 90 Minute Free Demo on Steam
Available Until May 29, 2023
Valve is piling onto the EA Publisher Sale on Steam, offering a 90-minute free trial for the critically-acclaimed Dead Space remake. Since the game is already at a 20% discount on Steam, this is the perfect opportunity to try the game out for yourself.
According to a community post for Dead Space, players will have until May 29, 2023 to try the game out for an hour and a half. This is the first time that a demo this long has been offered on Steam, though other developers may offer demos of their games with a similar length in the future.
Dead Space Free Demo and Sale Comes After Poorly-Optimized Releases
Valve Allows You to Test It First Before Buying
The demo comes following the poor PC ports of games like The Last of Us Part I, Wild Hearts, and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, which all received mediocre reception due to bad optimization and other issues.
Offering a 90-minute demo would help players see whether a specific game would work well on their systems, saving them the trouble of having to go through Steam's refund process. Usually, Steam users can request a refund for a game within two hours of buying them.
