Schofield's reputation grew with the 2008 title Dead Space, which Edge magazine called "a work of passionate sci-fi horror that became one of most commercially successful new properties of the year." Schofield has said that the film Event Horizon inspired him to create a game that fused the genres of science fiction and Horror game. The game's theme of humans in space losing perspective to their place in the universe is influenced by the works of Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke, after whom the game character Isaac Clarke was named.

Schofield, executive producer on the project, worked with Michael Condrey, senior development director. The game launched a franchise of sequels, comics, novels and films, and went on to win more than 80 industry awards, including the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences' Action Game of the Year and two awards from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts.

In 2009, Schofield and Condrey created Sledgehammer Games, with Schofield as general manager and Condrey as chief operating officer. They retained those roles when, that November, Activision acquired the company as a wholly owned development studio operating on an independent model. In December 2018, he announced his departure from Sledgehammer Games to seek new opportunities.

Schofield was also a storyboard director and created over 100 characters for the animated series The Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers.

In June 2019, Schofield announced that he was joining Krafton as the CEO of a new development team called Striking Distance Studios. Under Schofield, the studio will be developing a game with a narrative experience set in the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds universe. The game would later drop this connection in May of 2022, no longer being attached to the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds universe. The Callisto Protocol was revealed at The Game Awards 2020 and planned for release in 2022.

The Callisto Protocol failed to reach its anticipated sales goals, resulting in Schofield voluntarily leaving Striking Distance Studios in September 2023.
