Release GOG Galaxy 2.0 for Linux
Added by
matj1 The wish to release GOG Galaxy on Linux is one of the most voted wishes. Now the developers probably focus more on Galaxy 2.0 so it's more likely that Galaxy 2.0 will be released on Linux than the original Galaxy.
vaknarzz C'mon GoG.! They are already a lot of native Linux games on your store. Make it happen.
atomicmonkey 100%
RyanTheSleeper_ I went 100% linux this year. To my surprise, GOG is not natively on the platform. I was really expecting they would be full on with linux, considering their generally open and pro-user policies.
NicklasJensen I wish for it to happen soon or get an official response. It seems like a common wish but if CD Project RED doesn't see it as economic viable, they should just say so.
BOULDERGRUNT Please!, we are still here waiting!!, we want to buy so many GOG GAMES ! :D
Glorious Kev Yes please! As a Steam Deck owner who prefers GOG but prefers the Deck over the Windows handhelds not having a native Galaxy app is a pita sometimes for cloud saves. I just want to be able to play my GOG games on my handheld. I sometimes just buy the game on Steam just to avoid the hassle of not having cloud saves easily accessible on Deck.
ufo_delta As a full time linux user, I would buy far more games on GOG if it had a GOG Galaxy for Linux. This would be especially useful for handheld devices, like the Steam Deck, or other handhelds with the SteamOS-like Bazzite Linux. I have a strong suspicion that GOG's consumer base is significantly over-represented by linux users, because linux promotes a culture of being much more conscious of how software works and wanting user control over it.
Frankly, It's really well past due to make GOG Galaxy available for Linux. I would love to see it and would probably buy almost exclusively from GOG at that point. But until then, GOG is going to lose revenue from its Linux customers the more it puts this off.
Please listen to your customers!
mambouna This happening would make me never buy a game from Steam if it's available on GOG.
metalinchains Come on GOG! must be as easy as those Linux installation scripts that you provide!
ShuShae If this is not possible or desired, cooperating with the Heroic developers would be a good idea.
aspiderweber Pleeaassseee!!! This would be amazing!
NeilOttoTep Would be nice to have a full fledged launcher instead of just using the site.
Niniel666 +1
rayman67 i stopped buying games full stop after buying deadspace 3 months after its release due to switching to linux & duel booting with winxp GoG changed all that last december when i joined & starting buying again . I would like to switch 100 pecent to linux & not having GOG galaxy & community features is the only thing holding me in limbo .
Please for the love of the games & preserving them release a linux version with all features as soon as you can I know lots of people would be grateful .
karolgames At least if it worked with proton.
pc_fire_beats I use Linux and Steam for the easy of use.
I would use GOG instead if it had a Linux version and support, at least with native Linux games.
Morrock
Like many others, I currently use Steam on Linux because it's so simple to use its library and lauch nearly any game on Linux using Proton.
If Gog Galaxy could allow me to do the same, I'll gladly use it instead.
ScottCarammell if you ever wonder why GOG isn't as big as it could be, this kind of stagnation and refusal to embrace positive change is exactly why
HisDudeness3008 A man can dream. Bought more than 150 games on GOG, all supporting Linux. Would love to play them with the native launcher and show my progress.
seq I wanted to play Majesty HD so I had to go and re-buy it on steam cause I have little interest in fiddling with wine and what not. Sad state of affairs.
SGoncalves I'd love to have GOG Galaxy on Linux.
edlinks Dear CD PROJEKT RED/Good Old Games, it's time to support a true open operative system.
hizaira I Recall Windows sucks... time for Gog to catch up.
nazosan Microsoft is making Windows unusable. It's time for people to start migrating. It's no joke anymore.
relevantfannypack Would love to see this happen.
hoce82 This would be great with the Steam Deck.
jiriks74 Heroic Launcher is currently the way to go. But having an officially supported launcher with social features would be really helpful.
sammy0panda is obvious step to take
bruestle2 I was preaching the gospel of GOG before. But, now that I'm on Linux, not having a native GOG launcher makes it an extremely sub-par experience compared to Steam. I'm quite surprised this isn't sorted already.
JdabaD I haven't bought from GOG in years due to steam's linux support. Make me want to come back.
##@@##@@ 2025? Please GOG :)
Otakumaster Steam is the only one to do it right for Linux users, GOG don't care
##@@##@@ Linux users want GOG badly :)
sandziuk Alternatively open-sourcing some of the launcher code might make it easier for the very passionate community to make one for you...
sandziuk Would be pretty neat to have another native client on Linux, but unfortunately it doesn't seem too likely at the moment...
In the present we have Heroic Launcher (for GOG, Epic and Amazon) a native steam client and Lutris for most of the other stuff. ProtonDB serves as a great database for game compatibility. 2024 was a decent year to game on Linux. Let's hope for more even better ones to come!
Aaaanyway... It'd really be awesome for GOG to also join the hype train, just saying ;D
Ralimba Linux users want GOG badly!
rahnn69 +1 as linux user and I don't understand why it hasn't been done already, even steam did it !!!
Brainpeace I use GOG Galaxy 2.0 as the main way to organize all my games, but with Windows 10 loosing support within a year, having GOG support Linux would make the switch that much simpler.
Of course I don't know how well or if integrations would work if the other clients are used through compatibility layers, but I bet it would be simpler if GOG is native.
Here's hoping for a Linux version in 2025
3Dsoldier do it
MirceaKitsune +1 as a Linux user who will never be using Windows again nor is ever touching Apple. I didn't even know GoG has its own installer which feels a bit too much like Steam for my liking but nothing bad: If you do decide to have one, by all means please support what is now an important gaming platform and OS! I only play open-source games 99% of the time because I feel I actually own them, GoG helps some Indie games be part of that list to some extent, but the limitations and questioning around whether "will it work on Linux" is annoying and keeps me from risking to get more stuff.
PESER +1 for my support, if this is not done, the GOG might not be future-proofed when people start moving to steamos as their daily driver eventually
narandzasti +1 There are three Linux users and gamers in my household and I would rather buy a game from GOG than rent the (revocable) right to use it on Steam whenever possible.
arunabhk I'm gaming on linux for 5 years and have to buy games from steam because I have no choice. GOG please support linux. A humble request
eldersnake90 Adding my support.
ep2023 Please GOG add support for Linux. Thanks
capitkin I use Linux for most things so I would like a Linux client. I'm moving my collection to DRM-free and ownership as much as possible and I would like to play Linux-supported games on my Linux box which my wife uses the Windows machine for her games. It is 2024 and Linux desktop is only going to grow. Also, with so many companies moving to the renter model for games more folks are going to move to GOG.
Toberic +1 --> Linux gaming is not the future...it's the present!
JohnnyGamer I've been using Linux to play games for 3 years now and I actually prefer to buy my games from Steam again because I know they run there and the client doesn't cause any problems.
JohnnyGamer A native client would probably still be too expensive. But it would be great if there was at least an unofficial client, because the emulated version tends to run poorly. Or if the emulated version runs better.
I've been using Linux for gaming for 3 years now and I don't want to go back to Windows.
Colday5518 Still no GOG for linux then? Thought I would come here and just grab it. Nothing ever changes. Back to Steam I go.
