GOG organizes its vast library of DRM-free titles through structured Genres, Tags, and Features to help you filter games effectively:
- Core Genres: RPG, Action, Adventure, Strategy, Shooters, Simulation, Platformers, Racing, and City Builders.
- Filter Tags: You can sort games using operational descriptors like "Free Game", "Indie", "Classic", "Story Rich", "Atmospheric", or "Only on GOG".
- Gameplay Features: Search filters allow you to narrow down options by technical setups such as Single-player, Multi-player, Co-op, Achievements, Controller Support, and Cloud Saves.
GOG Software: GOG GALAXYGOG GALAXY is the official, completely optional desktop gaming client. It is designed to act as a unified gaming hub with two major practical functions:
1. All-in-One Library Integration
- Cross-Platform Launcher: You can connect your external accounts—such as Steam, Epic Games Store, Xbox, and PlayStation Network—to merge all your games into one single visual interface.
- Consolidated Stats: GALAXY automatically combines your playtime tracking, milestone achievements, and online friends list across different platforms into one client.
2. Hassle-Free Management
- Automated Convenience: The client provides cloud saving, automated game updates, in-game overlays, and multiplayer matchmaking features.
- Download All Extras: It provides a one-click "Download All Extras" option to easily pull down soundtracks, digital wallpapers, art books, and manuals included with your games.
Freedom to Go Client-FreeBecause GOG strongly prioritizes user ownership, you do not need to install GOG GALAXY to play your games. You can bypass the launcher entirely by logging into the GOG website via a browser, heading to your account settings, and downloading standalone, offline "Backup Game Installers" to save to your local hardware or an external drive forever.
