With the Dead Space remake ushering in a revival of the series, there are many wanting to experience the survival horror series again or for the first time. That said, players may be surprised to discover that there were more games than the original trilogy. Here is an overview of the titles and the different orders to play them in.

Dead Space Games in timeline order
This order follows the story from the discovery of the “first” Marker on Aegis VII to Isaac Clarke’s misguided adventures on Tau Volantis where, spoilers, he must fight against a living moon. Unfortunately, many players will have trouble finding playable copies outside of the main trilogy, as the mobile title is no longer available, Extraction is a light-gun shooter, and Ignition is no longer available.

- Empty space (2008) / Dead Space Remake (2023)
- Dead space ignition (2010)
