It's pretty clear that GOG is taking direct aim at growing frustration with the number of launchers that gamers have to deal with these days, as well as possibly more disingenuous concerns about data privacy driven by the rise of the Epic Games Store.
For now, however, it's not saying who those partners are. We want all our official integrations to be supported by respective platform holders, so we make sure they’re in-line with partners’ policies and that they’re safe," a GOG rep said.
"We’ve been in contact with several partners already, as we aim to have official integrations with all major platforms. If you want to fully embrace the future, however, you'll need to keep the other clients installed on your PC.
Galaxy 2.0 has also been "rebuilt from the ground up" to offer better performance than the current client, and like the original Galaxy the updated version will remain entirely optional: If you just want to be left alone to download your games and play them in quiet solitude as God and nature intended, that will continue to be totally cool. User data will be stored online to enable simple syncing between devices, but GOG made a point of emphasizing that privacy is paramount: It explicitly states on the Galaxy website that "we're not spying on data from your computer" and won't share it with third parties you'll also be able to remove your imported data from Galaxy servers "with a single click." It will also track all of your achievements and hours played across platforms, support cross-platform chat, and offer various sorting, filtering, and collection comparison options. The idea is that you'll connect the new client to your various online accounts and platforms, including consoles-a list hasn't been confirmed yet, but a rep said that the goal is "to have all major platforms officially integrated in the app"-at which point it will import your libraries and friends lists, essentially acting as a big-tent overlay for Steam, EGS, Origin, and so forth. Galaxy 2.0, announced today, sounds like a more ambitious undertaking, as it promises to combine all of your games, online friends, and other data in one place.
