If you are an avid gamer, then you must have heard of GOG. Previously known as Good Old Games, this is a game distribution platform. They provide classic games for various platforms that usually do not have a DRM tag. Thus such games can be available to a lot of gamers throughout the globe. The issue is those who are deep into gaming have live game libraries on various other platforms. It may be a hassle for these users to waste their valuable time by switching between apps and websites.
So, is there a way to add other live game libraries to GOG.? Instead of moving around from one repository to another, it will be great to have all of your games under one collective. Also, the GOG interface is very simple and user-friendly. Once you integrate other platforms such as Xbox or Steam to it you can access your games from any of the platforms through separate tabs. Let’s see how to add other game libraries to GOG Galaxy.
