In the version currently rolling out, this appears to have stabilised. All the major players are covered to a degree, but if you’re the sort of person who uses the itch.io client you’ll be left wanting.ĭuring the private beta, this functionality would routinely misbehave, losing connection and forcing you to log back in to services such as PlayStation Network over and over again. ![]() The open source nature of the functionality remains in place, with the community still working to fill the gaps left by CDPR, which are numerous. Sign in to your platform of choice, and that’s it, Galaxy 2.0 can now synchronise information from that platform. Under settings, you have the option to connect these and several other platforms to your Galaxy 2.0 client. Connections to Third Party PlatformsĬonnecting your Steam, PlayStation and Xbox (amongst other) libraries is one of the main draws of Galaxy 2.0, so how does this work? Poor show CDPR, not everyone wants to use beta software. They’re finding ways to roll back and then prevent the update from happening again, such is their distaste for the upgrade. They apparently didn’t sign up for this or any beta. Without any real warning, it seems 1.0 clients are being upgraded to the 2.0 open beta, which some users are finding rather unpleasant, a questionable decision in my opinion. They want the convenience of downloading and updating their games like any Steam or Uplay user would expect. Those choosing to install the Galaxy 1.0 client are likely the more serious GOG.com users, with the largest libraries. If you don’t wish to keep your games up to date, you don’t have to do that either.ĭespite the Galaxy 2.0 client receiving regular updates and continually improving over the last several months, an immediate misstep, unusual for CDPR, is currently being observed by the very people they probably shouldn’t be pissing off. It’s mostly unnecessary as well, you can download DRM free installer executables from GOG.com and store them wherever you want. Many people who use GOG.com have likely never bothered installing the Galaxy client, it is yet another launcher to think about. Automatic Update From 1.0 Isn’t Well Received By Some ![]() This isn’t a new idea, other options such as Playnite have been doing this for a while. The aim of Galaxy 2.0 was to unite all of your PC digital storefronts and associated launchers into a single, universal library, under one client to rule them all. This is a practice which continues in 2020, with titles such as Assassins Creed Valhalla. I wrote about GOG Galaxy 2.0 last year during the “Launcher Wars”, which were sparked in part by Epic Software’s incessant desire to gobble up a bunch of exclusive or timed big name releases on PC.
