Gothic 1 Remake is not rolling out at midnight in each region. The remake uses a simultaneous global unlock on June 5, 2026, meaning players in North America, Europe, and parts of Asia and Oceania will all see different local times for the same worldwide release window.
When Does Gothic 1 Remake Unlock?
The listed regional times convert to 17:00 UTC on June 5, which means most players get access on June 5 local time. Here is the full regional breakdown:
| Region | Release Time |
|---|---|
| Los Angeles | June 5, 10:00 AM PDT |
| New York | June 5, 1:00 PM EDT |
| Mexico City | June 5, 11:00 AM |
| London | June 5, 6:00 PM BST |
| Barcelona / Bochum / Warsaw / Karlstad | June 5, 7:00 PM CEST |
| Kyiv / Riyadh | June 5, 8:00 PM |
| Almaty | June 5, 10:00 PM |
| Beijing | June 6, 1:00 AM |
| Tokyo | June 6, 2:00 AM |
| Sydney | June 6, 3:00 AM |
Why Do Beijing, Tokyo, and Sydney Show June 6?
Because the unlock is simultaneous worldwide, players in East Asia and Australia hit the same UTC moment after midnight local time. It is the same release — just a different date on the clock. There is no separate schedule for those regions; they are not waiting longer than anyone else.
What Platforms Is Gothic 1 Remake Coming To?
THQ Nordic confirms Gothic 1 Remake releases on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. On PC, the game is available through Steam and GOG.
Pre-Order and Store Differences
The bonus you get depends on where you buy. On PC, pre-ordering through Steam or GOG includes the official digital soundtrack at no extra cost. On PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, console pre-orders include Gothic Classic, the original 2001 game, accessible immediately after purchase.
PC System Requirements
These come directly from the Steam store listing.
Minimum:
- OS: Windows 10 64-bit / Windows 11 64-bit
- CPU: Intel Core i7-7700K / AMD Ryzen 5 1600X
- RAM: 16 GB
- GPU: AMD RX 6700 XT or NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 (8 GB VRAM)
- DirectX: Version 12
- Storage: 60 GB available space (SSD required)
Recommended:
- OS: Windows 10 64-bit / Windows 11 64-bit
- CPU: Intel Core i7-7700K / AMD Ryzen 5 3600X
- RAM: 32 GB
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti or AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT (12 GB VRAM)
- DirectX: Version 12
- Storage: 60 GB available space (NVMe recommended)
The GPU is the spec to pay closest attention to. Steam lists specific 8 GB VRAM cards at minimum rather than a generic VRAM target, so older mid-range cards that fall below RX 6700 XT or RTX 2070 may not meet requirements.
Gothic 1 Remake is listed as a single-player game on Steam. No multiplayer mode has been announced. No early access period has been announced ahead of the June 5 launch, and the global schedule points to one simultaneous worldwide unlock, not separate midnight releases by region.
