Gothic Remake Physical Copies Require Day-One Patch, Sparking Preservation Worries

Physical copies of THQ's Gothic remake won’t be playable out of the box; a day-one ~5 GB patch is required to enable play, after which the game can run offline.

The Gothic remake launches June 5 on consoles and PC, and THQ says copies were shipped ahead to ensure day-one play.
