Summer is almost here – longer days, more sunshine, warm breeze. All of it invites us to relax, enjoy ourselves and take it easy. To match this awesome vibe, our latest GOG GALAXY Update is all about making things simple and easy!

Let’s give a warm welcome to the Tyche update and see what it contains.

We all know this feeling when you’ve just finished a great title and the big question starts to rise: what should I play next? Well, to help you decide what adventure you should embark on, we’ve introduced the “Next to play” widget in your “Recent” view. This way you can easily see which gems from your gaming library you haven’t yet played and should give them a shot.

Additionally, we’d love to hear your impressions and feedback regarding this and future features. While checking out the “Next to play” widget you’ll encounter surveys within GOG GALAXY that you can take. Rating your experience through them will be an amazing way to let us know what you think, so we highly encourage you to do so!



Tyche’s next addition is aimed at making exploring DLCs as hassle-free as it gets. Every time when you wonder if there’s any more content to your beloved game, just simply go to its game view. You’ll see that we’ve added a new list of all available DLCs that you haven’t yet purchased for that given game. You can browse it, pick what you like the most and enjoy the fun that they offer.

Moreover, because there are always many awesome things happening on GOG, we’re also introducing a feature that’ll make sure you are not missing out on any of them. Those who gave their marketing consent will now receive a new type of desktop notifications that inform them about all the cool, special events that take place in our store.



Those are the main features and improvements in the version 2.0.66 of GOG GALAXY. Besides that we fixed a few bugs like the ones preventing editing of a bookmark name while on a game view or incorrectly wrapping text on “Downloads” view. We also reduced the amount of background requests for your convenience and updated the layout of the “Welcome offer” banner.

Head over to the GOG GALAXY client, check the Tyche update out and let us know what you think! And if you haven’t already, click HERE to download GOG GALAXY – you won’t regret it.

That's nice, but people have hundreds or even thousands of games. Both "Show only games on my wishlist" and "Show only DLCs for my games" present on the site are missing from GOG Galaxy - GOG Store - All games.

I don't see anything under Settings - Notifications related to this.

Please fix the Extras download bug that I reported in ticket 1502167. It's only possible to download items there by clicking the tiny little arrow on the right. That's not how it worked in previous versions, as evidenced by the fact that the entire row highlights when you hover over it, and it becomes brighter when you click it but nothing happens. "Download all" for the goodies section can also still be clicked anywhere to start the download. There are multiple threads from confused people, both in the GOG Galaxy forum and on Reddit.

bcdv: Would be nice if the issue of broken updating is ever fixed. Ever since Galaxy 2.0 came out updating Galaxy from inside the app has never ever worked. Ever.
Open a support ticket. It's always worked for me, except the time they broke it and fixed it in a subsequent release.
I saw there was a call-to-action popup in Galaxy asking to rate the widget, it did disappear though, so i would like to look past all the negativity i see here and give some constructive feedback. I would rate it 3/5, because the idea is good, but the execution is incomplete. Many people already know what they would like to play next, so the widget could have two sections:
1. one with randomized offerings (filter should be customizable, and it should be able exclude a games, which i have 100% a month ago - now it literally offered me one of those);
2. another manually filled with the games by a user, e.g. by adding a special tag on a game.

I am tracking my "next to play" games in a Google sheet, so for me this feature is not essential as well. So, the need for such feature is really just a nice-to-have, there are plenty of essential features missing from the Galaxy and the GOG game store (e.g. editing your reviews).
