Deus Ex Remastered announced, and we’ve confirmed that there’ll be a PC version

At Sony’s State of Play today, Eidos-Montréal and developer Aspyr announced that a remaster of classic immersive sim Deus Ex is coming to PlayStation 5 next year.

There’s no mention of a PC version in the trailer, and the official website, deusexremastered.com, currently doesn’t work, but Aspyr has separately confirmed to PC Gamer that there’ll be a PC version of Deus Ex Remastered, too.

The remaster may be a bigger deal to the console crowd anyway, though. Deus Ex is a PC classic through and through, and as such, fans have kept the original fresh themselves with mods—GOG will supply you with fan overhaul Deus Ex: Revision, for instance.

What we see in the trailer for this official remaster doesn’t really look like an improvement over what we already have on PC. The remaster will feature “new lighting, dynamic shadows, particle systems, and upscaled textures,” according to a post from Aspyr on the PlayStation Blog.

It’s hard not to feel like this would’ve been an ideal job for the classic PC immersive sim fiends over at Nightdive, who did great work with System Shock 2. But I wonder if a full remake wouldn’t make the most sense here: You can get the original Deus Ex for 97 cents on Steam at the moment, and given the aforementioned mods, a remaster may be a tough sell.

Deus Ex Remastered is expected to release early next year: February 5, 2026.
