Gothic 1 Remake PC System Requirements (Provisional — Verify June 5)

If you are trying to figure out whether your PC will run the Gothic 1 Remake before pre-ordering, here is the short version: the listed specs are still provisional, some storefronts even say “to be confirmed,” and you should re-check the official page on launch day, June 5, 2026. With that warning loud and clear, here is what we actually know right now.

A real warning before you read the numbers

I am writing this on May 30, 2026, six days before release. The requirements below come from the pre-purchase listings and the free Nyras Prologue demo, which is a slice of the game and not the whole thing. Final specs for the full release can shift. If you are about to spend money on a GPU or a new rig because of this page, do not. Wait for the official launch-day requirements and verify them yourself.

Provisional minimum requirements

• OS: Windows 10 / 11 64-bit
• CPU: Intel Core i7-7700K or AMD Ryzen 5 1600X
• RAM: 16 GB
• GPU: NVIDIA RTX 2070 or AMD RX 6700 XT (8 GB VRAM)
• Storage: roughly 30 to 60 GB
• DirectX: version 11 or higher

A note on that storage figure: estimates float between about 30 GB and 60 GB depending on the source, and the demo listing is much smaller because it is only the prologue. Plan for the higher end and keep some headroom.

What the minimum spec realistically gets you

The honest read here is that even the minimum is not a potato spec. An RTX 2070 as a floor is more demanding than a lot of older RPG remakes ask for. This is a from-scratch Unreal Engine 5 build, and UE5 leans hard on the GPU.

If you are sitting right at minimum — a 2070 or a 6700 XT with 16 GB of RAM — expect to play at 1080p with medium settings and to lean on upscaling like DLSS or FSR to hold a stable frame rate. You will get a good-looking game, but you will not be maxing it out, and an old hard drive instead of an SSD will hurt your load times. If your card is below the 2070 line, you are likely looking at unstable FPS or a lot of setting cuts.

If you want the game to actually sing

Recent listings point to a recommended tier well above the floor:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600X (or an equivalent Intel chip)
• RAM: 32 GB
• GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3070 Ti class

Treat the recommended numbers as preliminary too. For higher settings at 1440p with comfortable frame rates, that is roughly the territory you want to be in. A current-gen mid-range card and 32 GB of RAM should give you a smooth, good-looking run.

Things that will move your frame rate

A few practical levers matter as much as the raw spec sheet here:

• Upscaling is your friend. UE5 games lean on DLSS, FSR, or XeSS to hit smooth frame rates. If you are near the minimum, turn it on from day one rather than as a last resort. Quality mode usually looks great and buys you a big chunk of performance.
• An SSD is close to mandatory. The storage figure is the floor, not the whole story. A mechanical hard drive will punish you with long loads and possible streaming hitches in an open world. Put the game on an SSD if you have one.
• VRAM is the quiet bottleneck. The minimum GPUs list 8 GB of video memory. Cards with less than that can stutter regardless of how strong the chip is, so a weak 8 GB card may behave better than a stronger 6 GB one.
• Background apps eat your 16 GB. With 16 GB of system RAM at minimum, close browsers and chat overlays before you play. UE5 plus Windows can get hungry, and 32 GB is the comfortable number.

A quick gut-check for common setups

• RTX 3060 / RX 6650 XT, 16 GB RAM: comfortably above minimum. 1080p high or 1440p medium with upscaling should be fine.
• RTX 2070 / RX 6700 XT, 16 GB RAM: you are at the floor. 1080p medium, use upscaling, install on an SSD.
• GTX 1060 / RX 580 class: below the stated minimum. I would not count on a good experience.
• RTX 4070 or better, 32 GB RAM: you are set. Push the settings up.

Bottom line

The Gothic 1 Remake is not asking for a monster PC, but it is also not the kind of remake that runs on anything. If you are on a card from the RTX 2070 era or newer with 16 GB of RAM, you are in the game. If you are below that, start planning.

And again, because it matters: these specs are provisional. Check the official Steam, GOG, or console listing on June 5 before you make any buying decision. I will update this page once the final requirements are confirmed.
