Redeem 17 Steam games DRM-free | Check out 300+ deals up to -90%!



Have you heard? School is (finally) back in session! And so is <span class="bold">GOG Connect</span>, in time for the 2016 GOG.com Back to School Sale. All in all, it's great games up to 90% off, new game collections and deals added every day, as well as 17 titles to grow your DRM-free library with GOG Connect.

No need for long faces - after all going back to school is a wonderful opportunity to learn new things, make new friends, and even expand your gaming horizons during these cold after-school evenings. This year's curriculum consists of 300+ deals up to 90% off, starting with Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, Day of the Tentacle Remastered, Dragon Age: Origins - Ultimate Edition, Dying Light: The Following - Enhanced Edition, and more.

And hey, we did some of the homework for you! Check out our neat game collections: hand-picked selections of series and similar titles we think you'll really enjoy. Whether you grab an entire collection or otherwise, you'll still get the highest available discounts normally reserved for entire bundles only.

New games and collections will be added every day at 10 AM UTC — so check back and look out for more deals. Once added to the Sale, the deals will stick around until its end.


GOG Connect is back — connect your Steam account and add eligible games to your GOG.com library for free. The June premiere of <span class="bold">GOG Connect</span> was a resounding success and we're now happy to announce the second major batch of 17 GOG Connect titles, including:

[i]Hotline Miami
X Rebirth
Anno 1404
Dex
Shadow Warrior 2013[/i]
and more!

Just like last time, these are limited-time offers made possible by our awesome partners!



If you're looking for a place to hang out and discuss which games you picked, how much homework you've got, or the titles you Connected, make sure to stop by our <span class="bold">Facebook event</span>. All the cool kids will be there.

The Back to School Sale will last until Sunday, October 2, 9:59 PM UTC.

hyperagathon: If anyone would care to convince me to buy any of the Interplay titles (considering this might be my last chance), I'm all ears.
I happen to really like Dragon Wars. It's a first-person party based RPG, but unlike other games released around the time (and unlike the Bard's Tale series), it isn't a dungeon crawler. The character creation system is classless with skill points (start with 50 and gain 2 when you level), the game is non-linear, sometimes with multiple solutions (for example, there are several ways to escape Purgatory), and your power mainly comes from the items and spells you find. There's even a New Game+ feature, which allows you to start over with your stats and spells (but not items) intact, and there is even one method of escaping Purgatory that requires New Game+. (Hint: It requires a mandatory (for beating the game) spell that, in other RPGs, would not work anywhere you *really* want it to.)

ThomNG: our titles on sale
Titles?
You mean those 477 games you guys have in here!? :P
DAMN!

Mr. Thom, trust me on this: there's not a single GOG user who doesn't own a single THQNordic game in his/her libray. Heck, I didn't even know I had 10+ of your games ;P

HypersomniacLive: On the front page it says "More deals" with a countdown, but there are plenty of deals at the moment that are not showcased. Are these 300+ deals about games tat are currently not discounted? And will all deals remain active till the end of the sale?
I'm assuming the deals will remain active for the entire duration of the sale. Whenever you go to check out, there's a timer that is counting down until the bundle disappears (around 6 days or so).

Awesome GOG, I figured the Interplay games would go on sale one more time before being removed. Picked up the two Star Trek adventure games. I already had Toonstruck and the first two Descent games before they were removed so I think have everything I could possibly want from Interplay

BaronOfBarons: Is Van Helsing Final Cut bugged for anyone else? I own it on Steam, but GOG Connect isn't recognizing it.
Retrying solved the issue for me.

MightyPinecone: Well the games weren't free so you didn't spend any money on them in the first place.

phaolo: If you don't count giveaways or better promos than Gog.
I should have added an "inbefore"
Yes, and someone could easily have predicted your comment too as this debate isn't new. If better promos are your thing I suggest using Steam, but if you do you're not garanteed a copy on GOG.

You can see the countdown on every bundle page, that's clear. My question is more about the individual games that are discounted, as there's no indication of how long they'll remain as such.

How great that this sale happens to come along at a time I have some disposable income available :)

Just a bit tricky to get a grasp on what actually is on sale, the huge "bundles" make it a bit tricky to navigate. BYOB is the only one with a discount that adds up, though, isn't it? In which case, I guess searching for discounted games might just be the easier option...

Thanks! Could you also clarify on my first question? Will these new deals be only in the form of bundles, or also individual games currently not discounted?
