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.

ssokolow: Grr. Never have I despised Steam's "must have the client installed to redeem keys" design more.

I have tons of unredeemed Steam keys from Humble Bundles that I currently just consider "not owned" and this could save me money if I'm willing to waste a ton of time spinning up up a quarantined VM and then using a VPN to give it some controlled access to Steam's servers.

PincushionMan: That's not good news. You can only redeem 25 keys per day.
Good to know. If I decide to do this, I'll keep an eye on the GOG Connect list of available games and prioritize its contents when redeeming.

Not sure it's already mentioned (50 pages of replies already), but can you also show in account settings that an account is connected to Steam? My brother just tried to connect his Steam account and had a "something went wrong' message (privacy settings okay he said) and no way to check if it's already connected...

What do i do when it says "oops, something went wrong, please try again". How do i connect my steam account again?
Posted June 02, 2016
It connected and then I left my computer and when I came back it was no longer connected. What's up with that?

Same here. :(

I do not want to miss the opportunity but keep the error as everyone else...

Just having re-read the GoG Connect page, the Steam API can only handle a limited number of requests per-day.

I'm guessing its being well and truly hammered right now.

I hope that if they're unable to process everyone's accounts in the 5 day window, they'll be able to extend it for those already registered.

Same error + occasional 404.

GOGer: you would think the witcher games (including #3) would be the first to be included. hmmmm.

speaking of which, how will censorship be handled? many steam users have uncut witcher games obtained via gifting which steam/valve allows. will someone who has an uncut witcher (or any other censored game) on steam, get a cut or uncut gog version? (assuming they don't already own said game on gog)

Zoidberg: It's the gog version.
that doesn't mean anything. why say this? gog has different versions of some games. some are censored. or you didn't know this?
Posted June 02, 2016
Yeah not working, this would never make me leave Steam anyways since there isn't anything wrong with Steam. Been using Steam for 8 years now.

I don't own any of the listed games.

flamerion: From what I understood you simply get the GOG version with all the ups(goodies) and downs(less updates? no DRM?)

Yeah, it's the same for me... "Ooops, something went wrong". :|
Posted June 02, 2016
I am getting constant errors for hours now, either:

"OOPS, SOMETHING WENT WRONG. Please try again."
or
"404 Not Found"
or
"We are overwhelmed by popularity of our service ;) Please check back soon!"

I hope this won't last the 5 days and we miss out on the offer to someone who has the time to hit refresh 24/7.

This is a great service to have a backup of games on GOG, but please sort out all the errors.
