The Dead Space remake is due out very soon. It's a faithful retelling of Isaac Clarke's journey as he boards the USG Ishimura in order to find his girlfriend Nicole, surrounded by by undead monsters. As it's being developed by EA's Motive Studio, it would only make sense to be able to play Dead Space Remake on EA Play Pro.
EA Play is a subscription-based service from EA. It offers a large library of games for you to play in return for a monthly fee. It's not the only company in the market to offer this kind of service, but it could be the only one to host the Dead Space remake.

As many titles are shared between EA and Xbox Game Pass, it's likely that we will see the game available there at some point in the future. We have an article explaining whether Dead Space Remake will be available on Game Pass on launch, for everyone who uses the service.
There is one more incentive to play Dead Space through the EA App. For those of you who play the game through the EA Play Pro system, you will be given access to the Digital Deluxe content. This allows you to pick between three new suits and three new textures. One of these textures is only available to EA Play Pro users, so if you want to terrorise necromorphs in the Anodized Suit, you'll need to sign up.
That's it for our look at whether the Dead Space remake will be on EA Play! For even more on the game, check out if Isaac will talk in the game, and if you need Origin to play the game on PC.
