Find what you're looking for faster, easier, and with style.


As some of you have already noticed, today we launched an overhauled navigation system for GOG.com. The goal is simple: to make it faster, simpler, and better for you to explore our store and find what you're looking for.

Browsing our catalog has never been easier: mouse over the Store tab for a neat dropdown menu that contains ongoing sales, a detailed breakdown of our games categories, and several top-tier suggestions.
To bring our games closer to you, we've also made several improvements to our search engine, so locating the title you're after should be much more straightforward now. Those accessing our store through mobile will notice that these changes have dramatically improved their experience, as well.

But that's not all! If you want to reach Support, interact with the Community, or manage your Account, you'll find that the intuitive dropdown menus make for a much more fluid experience, saving you time that could be spent playing your favorite games!

Your account name and avatar are now clearly visible on top at all times, so you can tell at a glance if you're logged in and on which account. Last but not least, redeeming gift codes and switching between languages or currencies is now more readily available with no need to scroll to the bottom of the page.

Enjoy!

Not long ago, with old design, just now, during this Deep Silver Sale, we had a quick way of reaching GOG Connect with that small tab-like button floating on top. I don't see it now, nor do I see it in any of the menus. Do I miss something or the easiest ways to reach Connect now are through main store page and/or by going straight to gog.com/connect?

Hate to beat a dead horse, but is anyone not using Galaxy able to get PM notifications?

Very convenient interface. Good job! :-)

tinyE: I'm not getting PM notifications.
I have similar problem, but with forum replies.
Before the changes, I would see a number in the top bar, after someone quoted me
Now nothing happens.
I'm browsing with Edge, at the moment.

I complained a lot during the last major UI change to the desktop and mobile versions of GOG. So far my first impression of this UI change is good. I'm still not a fan of how the homepage looks, but the changes are a nice improvement. I still need to poke around some more.

I still don't like the mobile site though...

Yeah, I'm not getting them for forum replies either.

I just talked to one person who said he is getting them, but he is on Galaxy.

I hope this is a bug.

Luned: Now can you add an easy way to enlarge the font size back to where it used to be on Gen. Disc.? Like a radio button or drop-down list under settings in My Account? It's at about a 6-point font size on my work monitor.
Hold Ctrl & hit = :)
But, yeah, having to use the browser to zoom in because GOG shrunk everything on the forums for some reason is not cool. Especially since the zoom setting applies across the entire site. I don't think zooming to 110% should actually affect much for most users in this case, but still.

Other than that, the only "complaint" I have is that they apparently pick and choose which promos (no Horror Sale? no Weekly Sale?) and new releases (no Ruin of the Reckless? no Scanner Sombre?) appear in the Store menu tab. Seems a bit odd.

All in all, though, good change, GOG people. :)

Looking good. Something quite odd now adays for a UI improvement to actually be an improvement. Good job.

It seems I'm the only one who doesn't like this menu.

Is there (or will be) a way to go back to the old menu?
There should be since GOG advertised the customizability of Galaxy. It would be wrong not to allow the same on the website.

I would really prefer if the main navigation was not permanently stuck to the top of my window. I really don't get why people do this, it's a website, not a desktop environment. The perma-glued menu bar just eats vertical space for no good reason.

kdgog: I generally like this, and am glad just clicking on my profile name still takes me straight to my games (not having to use a sub-menu). So nothing lost.
You could always do that: clicking "Account" on the old menu bar would take you straight to your library, just as clicking "Library" in the "Account" dropdown would.
But yeah, at least they kept it one-click. :)

new system is fucking shit!
Posted April 26, 2017
I like it. But the forum does need a facelift.
Posted April 26, 2017
Actually pretty cool... just have to update Galaxy to follow the same theme. :P

edit: although I don't like the fact that the forum font is so smaller...

Not noticed that, but I'm on my big screen. Also I agree, You should be able to dock or disable it.

New UI not a part of Galxy yet.
