This Summer Sale on GOG.COM starts with a journey into outer space. In Prey, a climatic sci-fi FPS game, our hero awakes aboard Talos I, a space station orbiting the moon in the year 2032. It appears that he was the key subject of an experiment meant to alter humanity forever - but at some point, things have gone wrong. The space station is now being overrun by hostile aliens and now your goal can be only one - survival.

Until the end of Summer Sale - on 15th June, 1 PM UTC - Prey is available on GOG.COM with a special 70% discount.

I have bought it, I'm curious how it is.

May I humbly ask for the old Prey too? It was such a fantastic crazy shooter, I'd like to play it again sometime.

MysterD: I have the Prey 2006 CE from retail in the tin-case w/ the figurine.
And also have Prey 2006 on Steam too.

Also own Prey 2017 too on Steam.

Yep.

And I still want Prey 2 (from Human Head) to get finished and released too.

Pyromancer138: May I ask you a question?
Is Prey 2006 DRM-Free on Steam?
Steam is by default DRM. Steam goes down, your games are gone.

SarahGabriella: Every game on GOG is DRM free with the exception of Gwent as thats a multiplayer game and thus requires a internet connection to play.

LiefLayer: Do you know that there was a problem with deus ex md dlc that only worked with internet and gog galaxy?
I want to be sure that problem is not here too.

So not every game on gog was drm-free on release
That wasnt intended and it got fixed...

You can back-up Steam game-folders elsewhere. Nothing is stopping you from doing so.

If the game's EXE isn't using any DRM (such as CEG, Securom, Tages, StarForce, Denuvo, G4WL, etc etc) - then that copy is technically DRM-FREE.

As long as the game isn't protected by DRM junk - I can back up these folders, move then outside of Steam folder, run from EXE, and they will boot up no problem.

If we want to go there - sure, to get an account & pay for these games just to get these files in the first place to archive (so I can back them up on DVD, CD, BR, flash drive, another HDD, whatever) - I need a GOG account; need to buy the game; go onto web browser or Galaxy app; sign into my online GOG account and download the files from web browser or Galaxy app.

Regardless, you still need to get these files somewhere first, before you can back them up.

When going digital - it's on the user to back-up their stuff.

Bavarian: If I had to choose between Prey and Prey, I'd definitely go for Prey.

Also, I think it's utterly stupid to name a game exactly the same as an already existing one.
I normally refer to Prey by Human Head (from 2006 as either:
Prey 2006, Prey: Human Head, Prey: Classic, or Prey OG.

Good addition GOG and Bethesda, great game for a superb price. Please bring the DOOM 2016 too !! We need more big titles without any garbage DRM or online connection BS drama.

DOOM 2016 is awesome. Would love to see that here.
Also would like to see DOOM Eternal here too.

Looks like old versions of Doom 3 (classic) and Doom 3: ROE are missing too, even though Doom 3: BFG is here.

To answer your question: nope.
Clicking on EXE file automatically forces a boot of Steam.

Prey 2006 (Steam version) probably uses CEG over on Steam.

This was fixed on Steam years ago. You can download both and they will remain in their respective directories without clashing with each other.

I guess Galaxy 2.0 will need an update, since it just gobbled up my Prey 2006 entry in the library.

For those interested: Steam keys for Prey 2006 can still be bought from PlayAsia.

op_2020: I would also like to see Prey (2006) here in the GOG library.

TheMonkofDestiny: Possible legal issues aside, I think Bethesda is probably satisfied with pushing focus on the reboots of series they hold the rights to. Which means being left out in the cold when it comes to Human Head's Prey and Raven's Wolfenstein ever seeing digital re-releases.
Maybe, but I think they're leaving decent money on the table, which seems like an odd thing to do. (granted company decisions can for sure seem odd.) Do they care about "canon" or something? :p Surely there's extra legal stuff going on.
