Dead Space cheats: Full list of codes & do they work in the remake?

If you want to use cheats in the Dead Space remake, meanwhile, you will want to know if they work or not. Luckily that’s exactly what we’re here for.

Read on to find out how to use cheats in the original Dead Space and for the full list of working cheat codes in the game. Below, you’ll also find out whether or not the Dead Space remake has cheats.

How to use cheats in the original Dead Space

To use cheat codes in the original Dead Space you need to pause the game and then input a string of button presses in the correct order. Once you've done that correctly, the cheat should have worked. Better yet, using cheats won’t disable achievements or trophies.

For example, say you’re nearly out of oxygen and desperately need to refill. Press pause and then input “X-X-Y-Y-Y” in that order on the Xbox or PC version of the game or “◻-◻-Δ-Δ-Δ” on the PlayStation edition. Your oxygen should now be refilled.

Some cheats can only be used once per playthrough while a couple can be activated as often as you like. More on that below.

At least we know that the cheat codes from the original game don't work in the remake. You can try them if you really want but, trust us, they won't do anything.
