Gothic 1 Remake system requirements

Gothic 1 Remake is a Windows-only PC release built on Unreal Engine 5.4, with Lumen global illumination and Nanite geometry running across its open world — so the bar is higher than the 2001 original ever asked for. Always cross-check the Steam store page for the latest official values.

Handheld / laptop

With a UE5.4 game leaning on Lumen and Nanite, handhelds and thin-and-light laptops will struggle at native resolution. On lower-power hardware, drop the preset, lean on upscaling (DLSS / FSR) and target 1080p/30 rather than the recommended 1440p/60.

macOS / Linux

There are no native macOS or Linux builds — Gothic 1 Remake ships for Windows only. Linux/Steam Deck players are limited to Proton compatibility, which is unofficial and unverified.

Frequently asked about system requirements

Can a low-end PC run Gothic 1 Remake?

Not really. The minimum bar is already fairly high — an RTX 2070 / RX 6700 XT-class GPU with 8 GB VRAM, 16 GB RAM and an SSD — because the remake runs on Unreal Engine 5.4 with Lumen and Nanite. An SSD is mandatory at every level to feed the engine's constant asset streaming.

How much storage does Gothic 1 Remake need?

Around 60 GB of free space, and it must be on an SSD — an HDD will stutter as the open world streams assets in.

Does Gothic 1 Remake run on Mac or Linux?

No. Gothic 1 Remake is a Windows-only PC release; there are no native macOS or Linux builds.
