System Requirements

Gothic 1 Remake ships on PC (Windows), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Console specifications are fixed per platform, so the published requirements only describe the PC build. The numbers below come from the official PC store listing for the full game; the Nyras Prologue Demo uses the same engine and lists comparable specs.

Minimum Requirements

The minimum tier targets 1080p at 30 frames per second with the lowest preset, on a 64-bit installation of Windows 10 or Windows 11.

Recommended Requirements

The recommended tier targets 1440p at 60 frames per second on a higher preset. The published spec sheet lists the same Intel CPU at both tiers; the AMD CPU steps up.

Notes On The Numbers

A few things are worth flagging before you compare your rig to the table.

• Same Intel CPU on both tiers. The published spec sheet lists the Intel Core i7-7700K under both minimum and recommended. The AMD CPU steps up from a Ryzen 5 1600X (minimum) to a Ryzen 5 3600X (recommended). This is the spec sheet as printed; treat the Intel duplication as accurate unless an updated sheet says otherwise.
• VRAM matters. The minimum target lists 8 GB of dedicated VRAM and the recommended target lists 12 GB. The graphics-card pairings (RTX 2070 / RX 6700 XT minimum, RTX 3070 Ti / RX 6800 XT recommended) are picked to hit those VRAM totals.
• DirectX 12 only. The renderer ships against DirectX 12. There is no DirectX 11 fallback published with the launch build.
• Storage. The 60 GB install size is identical at both tiers. Plan around 60 GB of free disk space plus headroom for patches and a save file. The September 14, 2026 hotfix reduced hitching on hard drives and slower SSDs, although the minimum spec still calls for an SSD.
• Engine. The PC build runs on Unreal Engine 5.x and uses a PSO precaching pass at first launch to cut shader-compilation stutter. See Engine and Modding for the engine breakdown.

Console Platforms

Console specifications are not published as a separate table. The game is confirmed on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. As of September 23, 2026 no PlayStation 4 or Xbox One version has been announced across the storefront listing, the publisher newsroom, the official site, or the storefront announcement feed, so treat those last-generation platforms as unsupported for the remake. Both supported consoles run from internal SSD storage, which lines up with the PC specification: the minimum tier needs an SSD and the recommended tier calls for an NVMe drive.

Handheld PCs

The storefront rates the game Unsupported on Steam Deck, and the reason it lists is graphics performance. The minimum-tier spec lists an RTX 2070 / RX 6700 XT class GPU with 8 GB of VRAM, which sits above what current handheld PC chips deliver at native resolution. As of September 23, 2026 the studio has not posted guidance of its own for other Windows handhelds; expect aggressive resolution scaling and lowered presets on those devices if you try one.

Steam Platform Features

The PC release on the Valve storefront lists the following platform-level features.

Console-platform equivalents (trophies on PlayStation 5, achievements on Xbox Series X|S, cloud-save services on each console family) ship through each platform's standard account system. As of September 23, 2026 no cross-save between PC and console has been announced across the storefront listing, the publisher newsroom, the official site, or the storefront announcement feed.

Recommended Settings

Once the game runs, these display and graphics settings give a good balance of visual quality and stable frame rate on mid-range hardware. Drop upscaling quality a step on weaker GPUs, and raise it on high-end cards.
