GOG.com has recently announced GOG Galaxy, a new gaming platform that aims to take on Steam. What's the main argument? a DRM-free library where you can play games such as Horizon Zero Dawn and The Binding Of Isaac: Rebirth (best prices). If you are interested in participating in the beta, here's the link. Here's what you can find on the official website:
Prefer convenience? Install any GOG.com game with a single click, and it will forever stay up to date. As soon as the game is installed, it’s ready to play.
Want to backup your purchases? We get it. For all games, you can download a DRM-free backup installer that you can save to an external disk, drive or cloud.
It’s up to you when and how to play your games. GOG Galaxy will always work without an internet connection, and so will your games.
Sometimes game updates break things. Thanks to the built-in Rollback feature, you can restore your game to prior states with just a single click.
Don’t like being forced to update? In GOG Galaxy you can turn off auto-updating for any game and receive notifications when new updates are available.
GOG Galaxy-powered multiplayer games offer matchmaking and online play. In new and classic games alike, meet other players and make friends... or enemies.
Complete challenges laid out by the developers, experience more of the game, win bragging rights or just do it for the sake of your inner completionist.
For nearly every GOG game you can now track your play time. Additionally, select GOG Galaxy-powered games will offer extra stats or in-game leaderboards.
Crossplay-enabled games offer online play between GOG and Steam. Because where you buy your games shouldn't prevent you from playing with friends.
See notifications for new messages, requests or achievements, check on your progress and chat with friends... All that without leaving the game.
There are also Community & Privacy features too, but nothing different to what you can find on other platforms.
