FAQ

Are classic games that are not part of the Program any worse?

Not necessarily. For a game to qualify for the GOG Preservation Program, our team must run it through many quality tests. If these tests fail, our team updates and improves the game until it matches our quality standards. Only then, we stamp the game with our Preservation Program and grant it Good Old Game status. There is a long backlog of classic games available on GOG that may already qualify for the program, but our team has not been able to confirm that yet. We aim to support as many games as possible, but it's not always entirely up to us.

I bought a game in the program, and it does not work.

We test and update the games so they work flawlessly on the most popular PC configurations - now and in the future. The PC landscape is constantly evolving, with changes like new Windows updates or graphics card drivers occasionally affecting compatibility. If you encounter any issue with a game in the program, please contact our customer support so that we can verify and fix this issue for everyone. This helps us maintain the quality of those titles.

What about macOS and Linux?

The GOG Preservation Program is currently Windows-only. Our priority is to preserve as many games as possible under the Program, before expanding to other operating systems.

Is GOG Preservation Program for old games only?

No. The program may include any game that needs maintenance and that we can commit to maintaining ourselves, even if it was released just a few months ago.

Can a New Release join the Program?

No, because GOG can’t take over the responsibility for the game’s quality from the developer, as it is expected to be updated and expanded with DLCs, new editions, etc.

When will you add more games to the GOG Preservation Program?

For a game to qualify, our team must run it through many quality tests. If these tests fail, our team updates and improves the game until it matches our quality standards. Only then will we stamp the game with our Preservation Program and commit to its maintenance. There is a long backlog of games currently being evaluated. We want hundreds of games to be stamped by the end of 2025.

Can a game be removed from the Program?

We never want a game to be removed from the GOG Preservation Program, and at the time of this writing, we don’t see a reason it should happen.

There is a community update that fixes some bugs and adds more graphic options. Why is it not included?

The GOG Preservation Program aims to preserve the original game and make it playable on modern machines. This means being very careful with any modification that might alter the original experience. We also want to avoid passing the responsibility of maintaining the game’s quality on to the community, as it wouldn’t be fair to you.
