To be on the safe side, and for it to fit in with the spooky season, you should conservatively look to October 2023 for a release window for the Dead Space remake on Game Pass Ultimate. The length of time it takes before a game is added to EA Play (and therefore Game Pass Ultimate) really does depend on things like the size of the game, its popularity, and any deal worked out between EA and Microsoft.

However, not all games are added to EA Play on day one, with players usually having to wait for 6-12 months before a new game is added to the service. Game Pass Ultimate subscribers also have access to EA Play, a service that includes almost all of EA’s published games, within the subscription price of Ultimate. The answer is yes, the Dead Space remake is coming to Game Pass, but only to those with Ultimate and also not at launch.

Releasing as a next-gen experience, players can already play the original game via Xbox Game Pass, but can the same be said of the remake? Following years of inactivity for one of the most beloved yet sadly commercially unsuccessful survival horror franchises, Dead Space is finally coming back with a much-vaunted remake that remains truthful to the original while adding some welcomed modern tweaks.
