Starting Today, It Will Be Possible To Import Some Of Your Steam Games Into Your GOG Library
Using GOG Connect, some of your Steam games will transfer over to your GOG library for free and without DRM. The service is available starting today, and while it doesn't and won't cover all the games shared between the two services, it will help you create some continuity without the need to purchase the same game twice.
Out of the gate, games from Deep Silver, Harebrained Schemes, Jonathan Blow's Number None, TaleWorlds and other publishers and developers' games will be compatible. You can find the full list of compatible games here, which currently covers games like The Witness, FTL: Faster Than Light, The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing: Final Cut, Galactic Civilizations 3, Trine Enchanted Edition, Saints Row 2, Shadowrun Returns, The Witcher: Enhanced Edition, and more.
GOG says the GOG Connect will be an ongoing service, the the available games will fluctuate, and some will only be available for a limited time.
Our Take
This is a great option that functions as a way to get players to try a PC game distributor other than Steam (a difficult order) while not demanding they completely separate themselves from Steam – something Origin has mostly failed to do.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
