Connect your Steam account and grow or jumpstart your GOG.com library.


UPDATE: Last chance to grab your games from the original list! Make sure to get them until June 8, 12:59 PM UTC.

Want more games? We've got more games! Three new titles are now available through GOG Connect:

- Kona
- Defender's Quest
- Door Kickers

You can get them until June 13, 1:59 PM UTC.



Today, we're launching a new program called <span class="bold">GOG Connect</span>. The premise is simple: connect your Steam account and add your eligible games to your GOG.com library.

Whether you're checking us out for the first time or have been with us for a while, <span class="bold">GOG Connect</span> gets you DRM-free versions of your games, digital extras, and a whole lot of freedom of choice (like whether you go with the GOG Galaxy client or not). It gets you our take on game ownership, and we say: why buy the games more than once?

Thanks to our awesome partners including Deep Silver, Harebrained Schemes, Jonathan Blow's Number None, TaleWorlds and more, you can now add more than 20 games to your GOG.com library if you previously purchased them on Steam.

The full list of games will always be available on connect.gog.com, starting with these and more:

- The Witness
- FTL: Faster Than Light
- The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing: Final Cut
- Galactic Civilizations 3
- Trine Enchanted Edition
- Saints Row 2
- Shadowrun Returns
- The Witcher: Enhanced Edition


While <span class="bold">GOG Connect</span> will stick around, the available games will come and go. These are limited-time offers made possible by participating developers and publishers, so stay tuned as we bring new titles onboard in the future (and grab your copies before they go away)!


For a bit more library-building, a bunch of our favorite titles will also be discounted up to -85% all week long, including The Witness, Saints Row: The Third, System Shock 2 and more. You can check out all the deals here. The sale will last until June 6, 12:59 PM UTC.

It took a few times of refreshing the connect page but now I have Braid and Trine added to my library :) Looking forward to seeing more games added in the future!

You do get a confirmation message for games that are imported.

I went to sleep after the DDoS of last night and woke up with 4 new games on my GOG library, great :)

I still wish it was the other way around, but i'm sure Valve didn't agree to this and i'm sure that would never happen, so i guess i'm happy to see that GOG once again proves they're in it for the consumer and not necesarily the money.

Celton88: I think I see whee GoG is going with this. Making it easier to shift existing collections to GoG. I just hope it doesn't incentivize people to buy on Steam knowing that they might be able to move it to GoG eventually.

I hope it works out as they plan.
I think that's the benefit of limited time offers. It gives everyone an opportunity over time to shift the games they already have over to GOG, but it still means that if you want a game on GOG you can't just get it on Steam and convert it because you don't know when or if it will be on Connect's menu. Also, as a nice side-effect, the opportunity to build up a library at no costs brings attention - a lot of guys who've been on Steam for years and normally wouldn't look elsewhere might now check up on GOG once or twice every week to see what's new on Connect.

Hello,

I've decided to try out GOG connect. And this system doesn't seem to notice my Galactic Civilizations III. Any way to fix this???

Ok, thank you.
I've checked status of connecting accounts and found out that it's done (thought it'll take days to pass)! Got my FTL! I'm happy now. :D

Valve wouldn't have to agree to it. That's a publisher/dev decision. If they want to, they're well within their rights to hand out Steam keys to anyone who buys their game on GOG.

The thing is, that's already a common thing pretty much everywhere but GOG. If you buy on Humble you usually get DRM-Free + Steam key. I doubt the developers have an issue with the concept. So far it's been GOG blocking adding Steam keys, supposedly because it conflicts with their anti-DRM stance. Personally I think if they're going to tout 'Freedom of Choice' which they are with Galaxy that certainly could cover Steam keys as well.

That said, I'm sure it's not to their own benefit to start handing out Steam keys so I think it's mostly a business decision not to do so.
