EA reveals nearly 2 million gamers across Xbox Live and PlayStation Network tried out upcoming action game.

The public Dead Space 3 demo was downloaded nearly 2 million times across Xbox Live and PlayStation Network, Electronic Arts has announced. This represents a double-digit increase over the demo for Dead Space 2, EA said. The Dead Space 3 demo launched January 22.

EA also claimed that during last week, gamers mentioned Dead Space 3 more than 100,000 times across various social media. The game’s Facebook page netted 90,000 new “likes.”

In addition, EA said last week during a financial call that Dead Space 3 preorders are outpacing those of Dead Space 2, though no specific figures were divulged.

Dead Space 3 launches tomorrow in North America for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC, with a European launch slated for February 8. Those who preorder the PC digital version through Origin will receive the original Dead Space for free.
