Another year, another update. Let's see what we had this year.
In
2015 GOG released
308 game titles (not including DLCs). First release was
Space Rangers HD: A War Apart on January 6th, and last release was
For The Glory: A Europa Universalis Game on December 30th. Out of the 308 titles,
94 (31%) were day 1 releases, with
and [url=http://www.gog.com/game/hacknet]Hacknet just missing out on that list (day 2 and day 3 release respectively). There are a few more games that were released with a slight delay, those can be found in
the spreadsheet.
We also had
64 (21%) pre-2K games released, while the total number of games ten years old or more is
94 (20%), with 4 games missing the 10 years requirement, even though they were released in 2005 (
Star Wars: Battlefront II,
Star Wars: Republic Commando,
Massive Assault: Phantom Renaissance and
F.E.A.R. Platinum)
Compared with 2014, GOG released 32 pre-2K more (64 to 32), 53 10+ years old more (94 to 41), and 21 more day 1 releases (94 to 73) and
104 more games (308 to 204). GOG also started self publishing titles, though they seem to have stopped releasing movies.
