With the GOG Preservation Program, we’re putting our heart into protecting timeless classics. Our resources will support a growing collection of hand-picked games, keeping them playable as technology evolves. Every game in the program will receive ongoing updates and care from GOG, preserving the spirit of gaming for today’s players and generations to come.
When you buy a game from the GOG Preservation Program, you can trust it to work on current and future PC setups. You’ll receive the most complete version available, including compatibility, manuals, bonus content, and downloadable content—even features missing from other editions. If technical issues arise, GOG’s Tech Support will be ready to help, and, as always, you’ll have access to offline installers to safeguard your games your way.
Why is GOG Doing It?
In a world of rapid technological change, we see the urgent need to save video games from vanishing. The GOG Preservation Program is committed to keeping beloved classics alive and playable for future generations.
Over 100 Games
Our goal is for all games, whether recent or classic, to eventually become part of the Preservation Program. For a game to qualify for the Program, our team must run it through many quality tests. If these tests fail, our team updates and improves the game until it matches our quality standards. Only then, we stamp the game with our Preservation Program and grant it Good Old Game status. There is a long backlog of classic games available on GOG that may already qualify for the program, but our Team has not been able to confirm that yet. We aim to support as many games as possible, but it’s not always entirely up to us.
We’re launching with over 100 games, and you can expect the quality stamp on:
With the GOG Preservation Program, we’re not just preserving games—we’re safeguarding gaming’s legacy and ensuring that beloved classics remain accessible, updated, and complete, even as technology and industry shift. We make games live forever.
