GOG Galaxy Linux client development

In late July 2026, GOG announced that a native Linux version of its Galaxy game client was entering development. The company’s joint CEO Krzysztof Papliński said the client would bring core Galaxy features—library management, automatic updates, cloud saves, friend lists and game tracking—to Linux users, citing strong community demand driven by the Steam Deck and Valve’s Proton.

Two days later, GOG provided further details, noting that a specialist with Linux expertise had been hired to lead the effort. Development was described as being in its early stages, with the team evaluating technical approaches and planning to leverage Proton where appropriate. No release date was set, and the project was framed as a major technical challenge that would require considerable time.

Overall, the snapshots track the initial confirmation of the Linux client and the subsequent clarification of staffing, technical direction, and timeline expectations.
