GOG at the beginning of the year launched the Galaxy platform similar to Steam. It has similar features, like game library, friends list and in-game activity. But the biggest draw of Galaxy is that it brings together all the games from other platforms – Steam, Origin, Battle.net, EGS, Uplay – in one app. While these platforms still need to be installed on the device, the Galaxy can make them completely invisible.
Galaxy has been in the closed beta phase for many months, but now it has officially entered the open beta. In addition to being able to bring your game libraries together, the open beta also supports cross-platform metrics and friend lists – things like what games people play, your achievements, how many hours they spend. played. However, the Galaxy will not have some functions. For example, the Steam friends list doesn’t support in-game chat, so you’ll still need to rely on Stema to do that.
It is also very simple to use. Run the app, go to “settings”, select “add games and friends”, and then “connect platforms”. Each will ask you to log in, then the game library and all activities are updated automatically. Each game has an activity page, achievements, playing time and editing information such as title, release date, tags, images.
