Publisher THQ Nordic and developer Alkimia Interactive announced Gothic Remake has sold over 500,000 units in its first week.
"The Gothic 1 Remake launched just one week ago and has already surpassed 500,000 units sold across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S," reads the announcement.
"Player engagement has been equally impressive: on June 7th, the game reached a peak of almost 78,000 concurrent players on Steam. More than 15,000 user reviews on the platform further highlight its strong reception, resulting in an 85% 'Very Positive' rating.
"Alkimia Interactive and THQ Nordic are thrilled by this initial success and extend a heartfelt thank you to all players who have entered the Colony so far - and especially to all of the long-time dedicated fans who have supported the Gothic franchise over the past 25 years. This milestone would not have been possible without such a passionate community.
"This marks only the beginning. Alkimia Interactive will continue to support and improve the Gothic 1 Remake in the weeks and months ahead."

Actually quite impressive for what might be a somewhat niche title in today's market. I mean, I'm not sure it's really niche, but it's not really well known anymore.
I think we can easily call the remake of an old eurojank title, niche. Don't get me wrong, the original is still one of my all time favorite RPG, but times have changed and even their limited appeal is not what it used to be. So kudos for half a million, from what I can tell a whole lot of heart and soul was poured into this project.
I was a bit hesitant to call it niche because I've actually played only Gothic 3 - on a PC that was only barely capable of running it in a somewhat playable manner, before there were fan patches for the game. It was gloriously unbalanced, among other things, but it also offered incredible freedom. Anyway, my impression is that the first two games are considered much, much better, so I can't really speak from personal experience since I haven't played them (yet!).
Great news, it will likely pass 1 million with ease, which means they might remake the second and third one as well! Gothic is such an underrated series, it always ended up overshadowed by the behemoth RPG franchises of its time.
However good the game may be, the demo turned me off. Can't even release a bug free demo , insane.
It's a big name in Germany even after all these years. Wouldn't surprise me if a big par of that is just from Germany.
Germany, Central and and East Europe is where traditionally most Gothic fans are from, so no surprises here.
Apparently, so far, ~20% from Poland, ~20% from Germany, ~18% Russia, with Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, Ukraine and Belarus following.
Not bad.
