GOG announced at its Showcase that GOG GALAXY, its game management client, is coming to Linux. The company also announced reworked Windows and Mac versions that it says will be simpler and faster, with a cleaner library view.

Players will still be able to download offline installers from the store without using GOG GALAXY. GOG has yet to give the Linux version a release date.

The company also opened signups for a closed beta of GOG Social, a separate community site. Planned features include tagging store games, following topics and marking spoilers. Signing up does not guarantee immediate access.

The Showcase also introduced Retrovibe by GOG, a partnership to publish indie games inspired by classics across platforms. Games on GOG will be DRM-free. The lineup includes Project Warlock: Lost Chapters, planned for the final quarter of 2026 with a day-one release on Steam and GOG. Partnership announcement
