Best Console Graphics Settings

Best Quality Settings

We recommend using these settings to experience the Dead Space Remake with the best graphics and visuals on PlayStation and Xbox. In particular, toggling off Performance Mode enables Quality Mode, which maintains FPS 30 at 4K (UHD) resolution with ray tracing.

However, before downloading the game, ensure that you have around 50 GB of free space so you can install it properly on your console of choice.

Minimum and Recommended System Requirements

Best Performance Settings

If you prefer a smoother-looking gameplay experience on consoles, we recommend choosing these graphics settings to increase your frame rate. In particular, turning on Performance Mode allows the game to maintain a constant 60 FPS but lowers its resolution to 2K (QHD) resolution and disables ray tracing.

Best Console Gameplay Settings

Top Gameplay Settings to Tweak for Consoles
Customize Your Controller Layout Enable Single Press Quick Time Events Enable Orient View to Locator Path

Customize Your Controller Layout

If you're struggling with the game's default control scheme, you can access the Controller Layout screen in the Controls menu to customize your controller's button layout to your preference

Pick a Preset Control Scheme

If you're more accustomed to the prior games' control schemes or prefer choosing between preset button layouts, you can instead toggle between the Control Presets in the Controls menu.

Enable Single Press Quick Time Events

We recommend enabling the Single Press Quick Time Events option in the Gameplay menu to give you an easier time dealing with grab attacks from Necromorphs and other quick-time events occuring in the game. However, feel free to leave it off if you prefer a more challenging gameplay experience.

Enable Orient View to Locator Path

We also suggest turning on the Orient View to Locator Path option in the Gameplay menu. This option automatically pans your camera to follow the Locator on activation and quickly leads you toward the next objective.

Best Console Accessibility Settings

Toggle Content Warnings and Disturbing Scenes

For those who cannot handle or may be adversely affected by the Dead Space Remake's disturbing and graphic content, you can turn on the Show Content Warnings and Hide Disturbing Scenes options in the Accessibility menu.

Turn On Subtitles

We also recommend turning on Subtitles in the Language and Subtitles menu. This option makes it easier to understand the game's dialogue, especially while fighting off Necromorphs and during moments with intense music and loud noises.

Disable Camera Shake

In addition, for those who are easily nauseous or dislike shaky cameras, you can also disable Camera Shake in the game's Accessibility menu.
