The Dead Space remake will be native to Steam, no Origin client is required

When EA began releasing games on Steam again in 2019, the games were still running the Origin client.

However, this doesn’t apply to all new EA games that come out on Steam. For example, F1 2021 does not require Origin. Another exception will be the Steam version of the Dead Space remake.

“Dead Space is native to Steam,” an EA spokesperson said when he was contacted for comment.

EA hasn’t said if this decision is part of a larger plan to phase out the Origin client for Steam releases, but most likely not. The next Star Wars Jedi: Survivor game will require Origin, according to its Steam page.

Dead Space will be released on January 27th.
