GOG announces Linux support and major overhaul for Galaxy launcher

Good Old Games (GOG) has announced a significant overhaul of its GOG Galaxy launcher, which includes the introduction of native support for Linux. The update is part of a larger redesign aimed at providing a faster, more streamlined client with a new graphical user interface, performance optimizations, and improved library organization tools.

The upcoming version is intended to be a multi-platform solution, functioning natively across Windows, macOS, and Linux. This allows users to manage various game libraries, including accounts from Xbox, Ubisoft Connect, and the EA App, within a single interface.

GOG has confirmed a launch window for this new generation of the client in 2027. The company has also opened registrations for beta testing to assist in the development process.
