GOG faces catalog discrepancies compared to Steam and Epic Games

A detailed user-led analysis has identified 1,531 issues across 1,140 games on the GOG storefront when compared to competitors like Steam and Epic Games. The data, updated as of August 2026, reveals that many titles on GOG suffer from technical or content discrepancies. The most frequent issues involve inferior or missing soundtracks in 439 games, a lack of significant updates in 308 titles, missing paid DLC in 200 cases, and unavailable languages or free content.

These discrepancies are largely attributed to developers and publishers rather than GOG itself. Companies such as Devolver Digital and THQ Nordic have been noted for having the highest number of errors. Analysts suggest that because platforms like Steam possess significantly larger player bases, developers often prioritize resource allocation for those versions, leaving GOG releases with fewer updates or features.

In related storefront news, the action RPG Maneater by Tripwire Interactive has launched on GOG six years after its initial release. The launch provides the first DRM-free version of the title, which has sold over 14 million copies globally. To mark the arrival, the game is being offered at an 85% discount.
