I found the issue is something way funnier than it should be.
Because I was playing a different game with mouse and keyboard before starting dead space, I didn't have a controller turned on, and for some reason the game can't load save files and just gives me a permanent black screen until I close the game again 💀
Idk how that's the reason but I tried a few times with and without a controller turned on and I am 100% certain that is the issue.
So basically make sure you have a controller turned on when you start the game on consoles.

2 years agoHi @lemmingfuge273, this happens with quite a few games and other apps. I get errors and messages through the Xbox app and Epic app if the controller is not on before I start the application. I have to close everything down, turn on the controller, and then restart the app in order to get that to work.
