The much-anticipated Dead Space remake is launching soon, and console players have the option to choose between two modes for gameplay: Quality and Performance. Simply put, Dead Space remake’s Performance mode promises better framerates while Quality mode offers better graphics.
According to the official Dead Space Twitter account, Quality mode will support 4K resolution and ray-tracing, whereas Performance mode will only support 2K and without the ray-tracing feature.
Looking for #DeadSpace specs? We’ve got you covered. Console players have the option to choose between 2 graphics modes:
👉 Quality: 30fps at 4K (UHD) resolution with ray-tracing.
👉 Performance: 60fps with 2K (QHD) with no ray-tracing.PC players keep reading 👇🧵 pic.twitter.com/GxVMjai8QX

Likely due to the steep graphical requirements of the Dead Space remake, console players will have to either sacrifice smooth 60 FPS gameplay or deal with no ray-tracing and lowered graphics. It’s an unfortunate tradeoff, as many folks are used to 60 FPS in modern titles, but with Dead Space looking to modernize the classic horror game, the tradeoff may be well worth it.
Whether you’re a console player who prefers smooth framerates or eye-catching graphics and lighting, Dead Space has options for both. If you’re planning to try the game out on PC, then check out the PC requirements for the game here. Do note that you’ll need a GeForce RTX 2070 or higher for recommended settings.
The Dead Space remake is set to launch on January 27 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
