Windows 10 is coming on July 29th and we are as ready as can be!
You have been asking on our forums, and now we are here with the official word! We’re getting ready for Windows 10 and putting our QA Team at full capacity to test the games we (and you!) are looking forward to play on the upcoming OS.
Currently, we are very optimistic about July 29th and hope you will make a near-seamless transition to gaming on the newest version of your Windows operating system.
GOG.com has always been about making sure our releases, especially the classics, are tested and playable out of the box on modern computers.
When GOG.com launched in 2008, Windows XP was by far the most popular operating system among gamers. Ever since then we’ve meticulously tested our entire library to introduce Day 1 compatibility with every new Windows release. We’ve done it for Windows 7, we’ve done it for Windows 8 – now we’re doing it all again for Windows 10.
So far, things are looking great. We’re encountering very few problems and most of those are either resolvable on our end, or likely to get fixed as Windows 10 nears release. In fact, many games that had issues on operating systems newer than Windows XP once again won’t suffer any hiccups on Windows 10. The OS is still a work in progress, so while anything can happen until the release date – we’re confident for the future. This is the smoothest transition to a brand new system that we’ve ever worked on.
Some games may need a patch to run perfectly smoothly, but don’t worry – they will be available on the site, and if you use GOG Galaxy, your games will be ready to go automatically.
