You Can Now Try GOG Galaxy 2.0, Which Solves One Of PC Gaming’s Big Problems

After a few months of invitation-only testing, digital store GOG has now launched an open beta for GOG Galaxy 2.0, which aims to solve one of PC gaming’s biggest problems. The brand-new game client is more than just a way to download and launch games purchased on GOG.com, as it also introduces a way to import all of your game libraries, friends lists, and achievements from loads of different store clients so you can access it all in one place.

GOG Galaxy 2.0 lets you link accounts from GOG, Steam, Epic Games Store, Uplay, and even Xbox Live and PlayStation Network, with the latter two serving as ways to organise your console libraries and view your friends lists. You can manually add games from outside of these stores, too, and there are also user-made plugins supporting more stores and emulated console games. GOG Galaxy still requires you to have each of these clients installed if you want to make full use of them, so it doesn’t quite remove all of the clutter associated with having so many clients on one PC, but it’s a handy way of consolidating all of your game libraries and friends lists in a single place. It’s entirely optional as well if you still prefer to download and play GOG games as standalone DRM-free installers.

You can head over to the GOG Galaxy website if you want to test out the open beta for yourself.
