I still don't get what they mean by that. We'll be able to add console games to our library? So, I'll be able to have The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning show up among everything else I bought here? I assume I won't be able to PLAY it, maybe just use whatever social features the console has and show off achievements. The dang FAQ isn't any help for this, maybe such questions aren't frequent enough yet...

I'm assuming there will be some function allowing you to point Galaxy at an emulator's .exe file, so you'll be able to go into Galaxy, double click on the game, and it will boot up through that emulator. It won't be in your proper GOG account. Just a way to keep things more organized if you want.

I... don't think that's what they meant at all.

Well, console games will be SHOWN in the collection, but you won't play them on the PC. It literally is just for shows... And chats. Shows and chats. That's the realistic way I read it.

Maybe be able to link your xbox/playstation/nintendo accounts to GOG Galaxy

Positive it will likely work as GreenManGaming's Playfire client, that sync PlayStation Store purchases to user's library if signed in... Kind of a useless feature for the risk to get more accounts stolen if you ask me.

Bumping in case anyone has a more definitive answer.

Found this on a Polish tech website. Translated with Chrome:


"I checked GOG Galaxy 2.0. I have games and achievements from Steam, Origin, uPlay, Xbox, and PS4 in one place"

You can't play console games on GOG unless they are explicitly released for PC and you own the game on GOG. The only thing linking accounts lets you do is keep your achievements/friends in one place.
