What is GOG.com
GOG.com (formerly Good Old Games) is a digital PC game distribution platform operated by CD Projekt, the developer of The Witcher series and Cyberpunk 2077. Launched in 2008, it differentiates itself with modern OS compatibility restoration of classic games and a strict DRM-free policy. Beyond its own IPs, GOG features games from various publishers and regularly runs free game promotions. Monthly "Giveaway" events distribute classic RPGs, adventures, and indie masterpieces for free, with games claimed during the event remaining permanently in the user library.
GOG's DRM-Free Policy
GOG.com's most distinctive feature is that all games are provided without DRM (Digital Rights Management). If you back up the downloaded installer files, you can play the games permanently even if GOG's service ends, and run them offline without an internet connection. You can also freely move games to other PCs or store them on external drives, providing significant value for game preservation. Unlike Steam or Epic, there's no risk of losing library access when a client shuts down.
GOG Galaxy Client
GOG Galaxy is GOG's optional client that provides modern conveniences like automatic game updates, cloud saves, friends lists, and achievements. Importantly, using Galaxy is not mandatory โ you can download installer files directly from the website and run games without the client. Galaxy can also serve as a multi-platform integration tool, managing your Steam, Epic, Xbox, and PlayStation libraries in one place.
Types of GOG Free Games
GOG offers free games in three forms. First, Giveaways are limited-time free events run periodically by GOG, typically lasting 48 hours or 1 week, with claimed games remaining permanently in the library. Second, Free to Keep titles are always-free classic games, including Beneath a Steel Sky, Hidden & Dangerous Deluxe, and other masterpieces. Third, demos and prologues are short pre-release experiences, often with no time limits.
