Grab your free copy of Dead Space on PC
Dead Space for Windows PC is free to grab through EA’s Origin service as part of the company’s “on the house” program. The game is 100 percent off for a limited time, so make sure you grab it before the promotion expires.
Dead Space is free on Origin right now, the latest in EA’s regular On the House series. Just claim it, and it’s yours forever. The only catch, such as it is, is having to install Origin, but that’s a small price to pay in order to enjoy the horrific adventures of Isaac Clarke. Once it’s in your library you can play it for as long as you have access to the service. Dead Space, which has been available once before via EA’s benevolence, follows the travails of engineer Isaac Clarke, whose rescue work on the Ishimura rapidly turns sour. The game turns 10 this year, so what better way to celebrate than by jumping back into Isaac’s clunky suit and dismembering a Necromorph or two?
Dead Space was released in 2008, so you won’t need a beefy gaming PC to run it, but it remains one of the best horror games released over the past decade.

Bought this long time ago and was also given it as a gift but after changing my system a few times but having the game on a separate hd Origin decided to invalidate both game keys and now i cant even get it as a free game.

The same already happened to me! I had an Origin account with some really cool freebies, Syndicate, Theme Hospital, C&C Red Alert and others and after a while they all disappeared without any trace...
As for Dead Space, it´s a great game, so great i´ve the boxed version, so no need for it free.
Interesting, mine are all still there.

- No in game AF
- Terrible in game AA
- 30fps with vsync on
- Game breaking bugs with vsync off
- Mouse acceleration that cannot be disabled in game
- Huge dead zones for controllers
- Can't rebind most buttons in game
That is a pretty big list. EA could easily fix all of that considering most of the issues have been fixed by fans already. If you are going to give it away to promote your DRM it should at least be supported a little. Lots of other companies support older titles and keep them working well since they still sell them.
I have this game on Steam, it is pretty borked but you can fix most of it with some free utilities if you want to take the time to fix it. After fixing it it works really well and is the definitive version. Love this game one of my favorites. Have the 360 and ps3 version also.
