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.

If I hadn't already completely dropped steam I might be able to make use of this feature.

Let's see main games I have on steam... The calipso game pack, divinity dragon commander, and dungeons of dredmore... unfortunately I already re-bought dragon commander long ago... hmmm....

LiquidID: So from what I gathered, the connection is provided by a third party who takes any and all public information from your Steam and/or GOG profiles and sells them as anonymous metric data to all sorts of potential mass emailers, and potential scammers? Seems to be quite clear during the linking process.
If this was done without third party strings attached, I'd see it as more valid. Also, I do my research before buying and generally know to buy from GOG or Steam for particular titles.
People like it, but I personally find it a touch shady. I guess mission accomplished?
Where did you get this from?

This is a killer feature! GOG just keeps improving.

IAmSinistar: So this is really just a complex and roundabout way for GOG to get us to carry out a DDOS for them? ;)
The cover has been blown! :^)

I'm on the "Your accounts are being connected" phase at the moment. Let's see how long it takes to blow up St... get my games here.

Shamy25: Implying you can only do one thing at a time.

General question. Concerning the CLASSIC Fallout series. As you know, you can no longer buy the classic series on GOG, so this new system is not going to overwrite my " account library " with the newer Fallout will it.

I know its not on the list now, but it may in the future. I may be over-thinking it, but I do not want to lose my Fallout Classics in my library to be overwritten with the new.

All I get is a rotating circle that says "your request will take several days to process"... well, it's a GOOD THING that NONE of these offers are time limited in any way. Oh wait...

Well it showed Witcher and Trine. I clicked "Trine" and got to game's page.

Now it doesn't show any eligible games anymore and it didn't add anything to my library. If I lost way to get these two games on gog then I would say that this feature is just poorly implemented.

it should be extended by 5 days cause no one can "gog connect" lol but in all seriously its still not connecting to my account and seeing games

I assume that the recent release acts as a completely different purchase. Otherwise we would already have it.

How did I imply that?

Anyway, don't think I can connect with Steam any time soon.

Okay I just did a stupid thing. It finally recognised my games from steam, and I hited refresh button before redeeming them. So, games are gone now, and I have to wait again. :/

I actually did redeem mine, and now it's looking for the same games again. :)

I'm sure it will iron itself out soon.
