Summary

  • Update 1.000.003 went live June 6 as Gothic 1 Remake’s day-one patch, targeting early player-reported issues rather than delivering a major overhaul.
  • PS5 and PS5 Pro performance complaints remain under investigation, with Alkimia saying improvements will take time and are not an immediate fix.
  • PlayStation save deletion after crashes was labeled a highly critical issue, while the studio also said it is monitoring PC crash reports and planned more fixes for Monday.
  • Across all platforms, Alkimia is also reviewing mixed feedback on lockpicking, arguing the mechanic becomes much easier after players invest skill points.
