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.

tailsy64: Alright, after I set my profile to public, it found "To The Moon" and I clicked "Add 1 Game". I'm assuming it's going to take a while before the game appears on my GOG account.

I want to know, do I have to keep my profile set to public? I'm the type who keeps it set to private, specifically "friends only".
My profile has always been set to public in steam. I have still however been having the same issues as everyone else that have it set to private.

for the first few hours it would not even detect my steam account, then it did but would not detect any games, now it detects several games and some just remain with a green tick (probably becuase i have those in both steam and GoG anyways) but others about 9 or so give an option to add to my GoG account but clicking that it says done, they however never appear in my GoG library.
Logging out and back it this option has nothing there just a message that due to heavy network traphic it will take several days and to come back after that, thing is you only have 5 days.
Oh and of course the OOPS somethign went wrong message too is always there, when it is not it is next time you log in.

All i can think of is that they are using this as a test stage, but they damn well better extend the time of 5 days especially if one is unable to get them registered.
Also here is an idea, to stop steam games from being purchased logged to here and then reclaimed from steam, only have it so that it logs here after 7 days or over 3 hrs of gameplay. I believe those are the rules with steam re-inbustment, 2hrs or less or under 7 days since purchase to be able to refund the game. This will then stop the moaners here about that, which i can see as a possible issue.

cecil: I got that same message :-( I hope if it takes several days to sort out we don't lose out...

Wintermute: My thoughts exactly, I hope it gets fixed before the time limit expires... :/
Me thinks GOG thought this was going to go over well but it might backfire but I sure hope not...

There's no way I'll be able to connect in 5 days, when I keep getting 404 screens... Sad I had a couple of games I wanted to activate

yogsloth: OOPS, SOMETHING WENT WRONG.
Please try again.
It's just the Valve marketing ploy at work here really, soon as you attempt to link your account Value send a feedback loop to steal all those GOG accounts so they can resell all your GOG games back to you via Steam, Sarcasm.

All kinds of error messages popping up. SSL secure connection failed, 404, token expired, redirection failure. Now, overwhelmed by popularity.

This is one of the most frustrating games I've ever played.

I'm getting the "Oops. Something went wrong..." message, too. :(

Stryder2931: How is this a good thing? The last thing I want is to have GOG have anything to do with any DRM free sites or games. Sure the games come over in the GOG library DRM free. But what is next? A GOG / Steam merger, or Steam buyout? Is this the first step in a merger or acquisition? Steam has the marketshare. No question. GOG is trying to take some if it. So Steam comes in, allows the GOG connection, and then makes an offer, or performs a takeover.

Or have I been playing to many games lately and overthinking this?
I don't see this as a worrying sign of things to come, but rather another move by GOG to wrest away some of Steam's market share in digital games distribution. Although they'll be losing out on potential sales and bandwidth costs, they'll be increasing their appeal to new customers that previously were primarily Steam users.

Some anecdotal evidence would be my own experience: I started as strictly a Steam user, and hadn't even heard of GOG until their name floated by on some forum. However, even having visited the site I didn't really have much interest in being on it until I learned about the Witcher 1 + 2 GOG backup program. That's when I became more of a participant/customer on the site, rather than just another curious web surfer - when I was enticed to create an account, and by extension became a stakeholder in GOG. (Subsequent sales led to a significant drop in personal finances, so I won't comment on whether this was a good or bad thing...)

With this new program, they've effectively created a GOG backup program for lots of additional games, which opens the door for many more people to have the same experience as me. (Provided this thing works eventually, grrrrr...)

skeletonbow: I wonder if https://www.gog.com/reclaim and https://www.gog.com/witcher/backup will now be folded into GOG Connect sometime in the future. Would make sense to have all of these things in one easy to use location/solution than 3 separate ones.
I didn't know about Reclaim! I have like over 100 games on CD, and been trying to buy them via GOG and elsewhere. Ah well. Perhaps I wasn't paying attention when the program started. :-/

Me too man, hours and hours ago last time I checked it said this:

Now I just checked again out of curiosity and it says this:

I'm not impatient at all, I just wish they'd make an official announcement about whether or not we will definitely eventually get our steam<->gog scrape as long as we entered in time.

Just want to say Awesome and Thank You to the GOG Team! I'm probably one of numerous people who have several copies of a game b/w Steam and GOG.

Hopefully my 800+ Steam Library will eventually balance out with my 100+ GOG library one of these days.


Can't wait for the issues to be fixed and to get this working.

Waiting for this to actually work, I am reminded of Jeff Goldblum's character in Jurassic Park, "Ah, now eventually you do plan to have dinosaurs on your, on your dinosaur tour, right? Hello?"
Posted June 02, 2016
Thanks for the new feature GoG. I'm sure I'll be able to get it working in a day or two. <3
