GOG Officially Expands Linux Support With Native Galaxy Client In Development
↗
Linux users purchasing games from GOG currently depend on unofficial tools like Heroic Games Launcher, Lutris, or Bottles to access features such as automatic updates, cloud saves, and achievement tracking. A native client would provide an officially maintained option with direct integration into GOG's ecosystem, reducing reliance on volunteer-maintained projects.
