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.

Senf: OK, I have Galatic Civ 3 and FTL on steam. It finally connected but it says "NO ELIGIBLE GAMES FOUND".
The same here. 4 games could be added but they're not found.

Have you ever seen an argument where both parts say essentially the the same thing yet they keep disagreeing with each other? Their difference is limited to either terminology, or assuming what the other side is saying without actually listening.

I can't even count how many times I've seen it happen, especially to old couples. I believe this is what is happening here*.

If we got games on steam like descent 1 2 and interplay makes those available can we get em on gog?
Posted June 02, 2016
Maybe in several days this might work at present stuck in the revolving circle of doom. Nice Idea though. A good move to partner with the devs like this.
Posted June 02, 2016
Sounds good, now I just have to wait for activation!
Posted June 02, 2016
This is a horrible idea IMO, but since it's GOG team who decided to do it, I'll take advantage of it. Maybe that way I finally get that Chaos reborn DRM free copy

Yeah, I understood only later that we were saying the same thing :) Its the bloody foreign language.

My gog and steam accounts are connected but I am getting no eligible games found. Is this just an issue with high demand and will be resolved later?
Posted June 02, 2016
And to think I laughed at the very idea of such a thing ever happening. Once again GOG does the things I think are impossible (leaving the really obvious problems broken in the process, but you can't have everything).

gandalfnho: Someone knows if turning off the computer will cancel the connecting of the accounts?

Azrael360: It's okay to turn off everything. The Steam account connected is permanent and the process to do that is done once. You can try again later, tomorrow, etc.
I was thinking in terms of turning off the computer during the process of connecting the accounts and not after finishing

Edit: Worked now (after double-clicking on the add button, for some reason). Thanks.

I have a question that's not in the FAQ...
What if i have a game both on GOG and Steam already, and i delete it on steam ?
Do i risk losing the game on gog as well ?
Posted June 02, 2016
I was ready to pay a service fee, but I guess I won't need to.

Now I just hope that the connection process will complete before the redeem offer ends.

Azrael360: That question is answered in the FAQ (Questions #14 and #15) in the GOG Connect page (look at the end of the page):

tibus274: Not completely as #14 claims the game is mine even if the GoG Connect availability for that particular game ends. But #15 also claims that if I stop owning a game on Steam it might be removed here on GoG. Thus my question was born - what if Steam is no more (meaning I did NOT remove the game out of my library myself), do I keep it?

EDIT - but I guess you guys are right, no Steam account means no games found and thus game is removed from GoG as well. I am not bothered by this at all since I already re-bought other 200 games here on GoG, I just fancied the debate about this connection to Steam. Thanks everyone :)
If there were mitigating circumstances, I don't believe GOG would simply delete your games. The legal clause is probably there in order to prevent various abuses of the system, eg. buying a game, transferring it to GOG, and then getting a Steam refund.

Granted, I'm not a lawyer, but that seems the most reasonable explanation for including such a clause.

That'd be my late Mother's relationship with her boyfriend. They'd do that 'terminology' argument quite often.
