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.
• 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. The studio has not announced PlayStation 4 or Xbox One versions, so treat those last-generation platforms as unsupported for the remake. Both supported consoles run from internal SSD storage, which matches the PC recommendation to install on solid-state storage where possible.

Handheld PCs

The studio has not posted a compatibility rating for handheld Windows or Linux-based portable PCs at the time of writing. 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 SoCs deliver at native resolution. Expect aggressive resolution scaling and lowered presets on those devices. Treat handheld support as unconfirmed until a launch-day patch note or compatibility rating is posted.

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. Cross-save between PC and console has not been announced.

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.
