What is the latest Gothic Remake patch?

As of August 13, 2026, the latest official release is the Patch 1.0.4 Hotfix announced on August 6, 2026. The preceding Patch 1.0.4 announcement on July 31 introduced the update, and the hotfix addresses Milten's Lighthouse meeting, a second-ring bonus and quest items from decomposed corpses.

The Patch 1.0.4 announcement says to verify CL 171261 in the game's Settings screen. That is the latest build identifier published in the checked official feed; this page does not guess a different console package number.

This is an independent guide, not a patch mirror. Steam, PlayStation and Xbox normally deliver updates through their own clients; this page links to first-party information rather than an unofficial installer.

Patch 1.0.4 Hotfix

What the latest hotfix changes

The current update combines the July 31 Patch 1.0.4 release with the August 6 hotfix fixes.

Milten at the Lighthouse

The August 6 hotfix fixes Milten not appearing in the Lighthouse meeting. Check the same save after updating before changing unrelated files.

Second-ring bonus

The hotfix restores the second ring's bonus when the ring is equipped. Verify the item state in a current save.

Quest-item looting

The hotfix fixes quest items that could not be looted from decomposed corpses. Recheck the quest journal and item state after updating.

Testing branch is not stable

Steam public testing may expose fixes earlier. Back up saves and do not treat preview behavior as the console or stable-PC baseline.

Update safely

How to check that the patch is installed

Use the launcher and a repeatable save test before troubleshooting unrelated files.

Steam

Exit the game, allow Steam to finish downloads, then use Properties → Installed Files → Verify integrity only if files appear incomplete. There is no separate installer here.

PlayStation 5

Highlight the game, open the options menu and choose Check for Update. Confirm the console has network access and free storage.

Xbox Series X|S

Open My games & apps → Manage → Updates. A console package number may not match the PC CL.

Confirm with a known symptom

Reload the save that produced audio stutter or a blocked interaction. Record platform, save age, location and active mods before reporting it.

Mods, saves and troubleshooting notes

A patch can change scripts, assets and quest state. Keep one backup made before updating and one fresh manual save after the update.

If you use PC mods, check the mod page for Patch 1.0.4 compatibility. Our Gothic Remake mods guide covers backup and source-safety basics.

Do not install a file advertised as a standalone patch unless it comes from an official platform or publisher source.
Do not assume the Steam CL equals a PlayStation or Xbox package identifier.
Use the quest guide when the issue is route logic rather than a confirmed regression.
For hardware questions, use the platform and PC requirements guide.
