GOG GALAXY combines game libraries and friends from multiple gaming platforms in one app for Windows and macOS. It can import games from PC and console platforms into a master collection, including games that are not installed, and track achievements, play time, and owned games across connected platforms. Users can install and launch PC games owned on different platforms. Library tools include filters, sorting, tags, custom visuals, saved views, and editable game details. GALAXY also brings together friends lists, online status, activity, and cross-platform chat. Games can be imported through official or community-created integrations, or added manually; community integrations are open source. For GOG games, the client includes auto-updates, cloud saves, multiplayer and matchmaking, and rollbacks to prior versions. Other gaming clients must be installed for platform-specific functions such as installing or auto-updating games and cloud saves. GOG says imported information is removed from its servers after a platform is disconnected and is not shared with third parties. The app is free and requires a free GOG account.

Who it is for

It suits players whose games and friends are spread across different launchers and platforms. Users who want platform-specific features for other services should have the relevant gaming client installed.
