Do you need to watch the anime?

[Zeus]

Or have played other fate games to enjoy Fate/Samurai Remnant?

[GoodIntent]

It's semi related to Fate Grand Order, you can just read the stuff related to Musashi starting from Shimosa. Maybe also some Ashiya Douman stuff too just for good measure.

Please read the Shimousa manga.

Yeah this seems heavily based off the fate grand order 1.5 Shimousa singularity

tldr no*

Maybe look up some history on musashi. aside from direct sequels like both extellas most of the fate franchise is decently self contained.
The exception to this is oddly fgo despite that being in a different timeline and requires reading wiki entries of one offs that never released outside japan to understand some things. Thing with fate is while all of it might not be relevant at the time literally everything is cannon including the joke comics.

Jeanne alter is in this game and shes literally a paradox from a different dimensions alternate timeline.

Watch Fate Zero or the new one Fate Strange Fake, both show and explain pretty well the main themes of the franchise, the holy grail war etc.

No fate zero does not show the themes of fate and id not a good starting point as it expects you to know about fate stay night. And Fate zero was written by Gen Urobuchi. The main author of fate and the person who started it is Kinko Nasu. Kinko Nasu wrote fate stay night which shows the themes of fate. Fate zero is Gen looking at the idea of what makes a good king among other things. It is almost grmdark and does not show what fate is going for. Fate zero is defenitely good, but it does not show the main themes of the fate franchise. Fate strange is written by Ryōgo Narita, It also does not show the themes of fate either as it goes for its own thing. Also fate strange fake isn't out yet.

Fate stay night written by Kinko Nasu is much better as it is the original and shows the themes of fate much more clearly. The problem is that it is so fragmented with different studios doing different adaptations and no good adaptation of the fate route.

It was made after fate stay night, and it literally spoils plot points of fate stay night.
It ruins Saber's identity, archers identity, spoils the fact that Sakura and Rin are sisters, spoils what the holy grail actually is, shows you what Kirei is and other things.
It spoils numerous other things as well that I could list if you want?

I don't give a ♥♥♥♥ about spoilers of that awkward fragmented thing.

Well fate stay night is the main fate work. So basically you don't give a ♥♥♥♥ about the main fate series.

No it isn't, the main work is the visual novel.
