Though Epic Games' storefront may have launched in a rather threadbare state a few years back, it has since received a wide variety of upgrades and quality-of-life improvements.

And since it's possible to install Epic Games Store on Steam Deck, there's way more interconnectedness between all the disparate PC gaming platforms than one might imagine at a glance. Naturally, GOG Galaxy also fully supports Steam integration, as well as a wide variety of other gaming marketplaces including Xbox and PlayStation games, for example. When combined with the Epic Games Store's own AAA-centric offerings, the two marketplaces basically cancel out each other's faults, providing a much-improved experience for the gamer. With over 4,500 games available for purchase, it's a comprehensive service in its own right. Still, it's a very user-friendly move that's being celebrated by GOG's Jazz Jackrabbit 2 giveaway, which was originally developed by Epic MegaGames back in the late 90s.īoasting an impressive 1% refund rate on Good Old Games, this PC game marketplace has specialized in reviving and maintaining old, out-of-date games for modern gaming machines, as well as providing DRM-free game downloads to those who want them. The decision to include one storefront as part of a different, bigger storefront is somewhat unprecedented in its own right, but it also begs the question of why interested gamers wouldn't go and download GOG Galaxy directly from its own official website, as there doesn't appear to be a difference between the two versions of the application. In a curious move, Epic Games Store now offers a download option for GOG Galaxy, effectively allowing PC gamers to combine their EGS and GOG libraries in one swoop.

Of course, GOG Galaxy in its updated 2.0 version is also used as a baseline storefront for Good Old Games itself, which is a small-scale competitor to the Epic Games Store. Quite simply, it pulls information from all mainstream gaming platforms such as the Epic Games Store itself, Steam, Ubisoft Connect, and others, and then unifies them in a single easy-to-use interface. A full-featured and comprehensive PC game management solution, GOG Galaxy offers a sleek solution to the issue of PC gamers' potentially fragmented game libraries.
