GOG.com: DRM-free PC games, from classics to big modern RPGs

Shopping at GOG.com? See all current GOG.com discount codes and deals, checked regularly.

GOG.com is a digital game store that sells PC games without DRM. That means no activation and no online connection needed to play: once you've bought a game, you can download the offline installer and keep it. The shop is best known for old favourites, getting classics from the 1990s and 2000s running on modern PCs, but it also sells big current releases. It suits PC players who want to own their games outright, and anyone who wants to replay something from their childhood.

You can set the currency to pounds in the site footer. Games are downloaded straight away or installed through the optional GOG GALAXY app, and the site offers full refunds for up to 30 days.

The catalogue is large and mixed. There are new releases and big-budget role-playing games, but the shop's real strength is its back catalogue: point-and-click adventures, early first-person games, strategy series and cult favourites that can be hard to buy anywhere else, set up to run on modern PCs. Many games come with free extras such as soundtracks, artbooks, manuals and wallpapers, which you download alongside the game. GOG also has a loyalty scheme and a "Good Old Game" label for the classics it looks after, and it publishes the system requirements and game length on each product page, so you know what you're getting.

What's worth a look

A mix of modern and classic games, at the full prices shown on their pages (none were in a sale when we checked):

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered at £39.99 is the obvious pick: it comes with a long list of extras, from the soundtracks to an artbook and maps. For older classics, Thief Gold is £5.99 and Myst: Masterpiece Edition £5.29, which is less than a takeaway coffee and a cake. Octopath Traveler is the priciest here at £49.99.

Current offers

• Our current deal is GOG's anniversary sale, with up to 95% off. See the offers box on this page for details.
• GOG runs several publisher and themed sales at once. Its homepage had a number of them when we looked, each with its own countdown, so check what's on before you buy at full price.

How to save more

• Add games you're interested in to your wishlist, so when the next sale starts you can see straight away which of them are discounted.
• Check the system requirements and the "Game details" panel on each page before buying. The 30-day refund helps, but it's easier to get it right first time.
• For older games, look for bundles and "Complete" or "Gold" editions that include expansions for little more than the base game.
• Check each game's page for the free extras. Soundtracks and artbooks are included in the price, so there's no need to buy them separately elsewhere.
