Connect your Steam account and grow or jumpstart your GOG.com library.


UPDATE: Last chance to grab your games from the original list! Make sure to get them until June 8, 12:59 PM UTC.

Want more games? We've got more games! Three new titles are now available through GOG Connect:

- Kona
- Defender's Quest
- Door Kickers

You can get them until June 13, 1:59 PM UTC.



Today, we're launching a new program called <span class="bold">GOG Connect</span>. The premise is simple: connect your Steam account and add your eligible games to your GOG.com library.

Whether you're checking us out for the first time or have been with us for a while, <span class="bold">GOG Connect</span> gets you DRM-free versions of your games, digital extras, and a whole lot of freedom of choice (like whether you go with the GOG Galaxy client or not). It gets you our take on game ownership, and we say: why buy the games more than once?

Thanks to our awesome partners including Deep Silver, Harebrained Schemes, Jonathan Blow's Number None, TaleWorlds and more, you can now add more than 20 games to your GOG.com library if you previously purchased them on Steam.

The full list of games will always be available on connect.gog.com, starting with these and more:

- The Witness
- FTL: Faster Than Light
- The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing: Final Cut
- Galactic Civilizations 3
- Trine Enchanted Edition
- Saints Row 2
- Shadowrun Returns
- The Witcher: Enhanced Edition


While <span class="bold">GOG Connect</span> will stick around, the available games will come and go. These are limited-time offers made possible by participating developers and publishers, so stay tuned as we bring new titles onboard in the future (and grab your copies before they go away)!


For a bit more library-building, a bunch of our favorite titles will also be discounted up to -85% all week long, including The Witness, Saints Row: The Third, System Shock 2 and more. You can check out all the deals here. The sale will last until June 6, 12:59 PM UTC.

I can't get it to recognize my Steam Galactic Civ III. Been like that since yesterday.

Still unable to connect, if i am screwed out of game linking due to incompetence then how could you expect me to have any faith in your platform moving forward??

"NO ELIGIBLE GAMES FOUND"

I have several of the games, but GOG Connect won't recognize them.

I barely set everything in my profile to public. Do I have to just keep trying? Wait an hour? What do I do? :-(

FIrst of all, make sure your steam profile is set to public (as you already have and has been mentioned before).
Then you try again and if it's not working, you wait and you keep trying from time to time, refreshing regularly.
It took me (and many others) more than a day before it suddenly just worked.

It seems the service is just swamped with requests all the time.

-edit- just to be clear, I only mentioned the steam public profile thing because it's good to be mentioned , from time to time.

I've just refreshed the page and added Door Kickers to my library. Somehow I missed it the first time.
Posted June 07, 2016
Hmm, it added the first bunch of games correctly (meaning I have all the settings right, I think?), but now (after update) for some reason it doesn't want to add Door Kickers, even though I have it in my steam library...

It finally worked! Just kept trying periodically over a few hours.

Konrad: Sorry guys, we're having some technical difficulties. GOG Connect should be back shortly!
To this date I keep getting connection timeout when trying to sign in to connect.

Same problem here. All I get is "The connection has timed out. The server at steam-sync.gog.com is taking too long to respond."
Five days and I can't connect with the server.
I'm starting to get a little frustrated.

Barefoot_Monkey: That's a limitation of the Steam API. There's no way to check whether someone owns DLC, so GOG Connect can't offer DLC redemption even if Stardock wanted it. If Valve ever addresses that (which might be a while, as people have already been pestering them for years for this) then we'll probably see some Connected (tm) DLC from those who had made their games available through Connect.
There isn't? The way I remember, it has been done by Nordic Games when they set up a redemption page for Darksiders II: Deathinitive for owners of the original release + DLC.

Just refreshed and now I can add Defender's Quest which wasn't there for me before, 5 days left.

Yes, it was added today along with Kona and Door Kickers. I also added Door Kickers.

I had no problem connecting to my Steam account and adding the games. I hope the issues that some of the GOG users had with Connect would be resolved soon.
Posted June 08, 2016
i was wondering if we can't connect do we still get an option to add our games later even when the time is up? or is this a one time thing
Posted June 08, 2016
Added a new game to my Steam account earlier, since it was cheap, just to test how the system would respond to adding new games on the Steam side.

It took GOG a couple of hours to recognize that I had added a new game, unlike my existing games, which were added almost immediately when GOG added extra games to their service -- that is, after the initial release.
