This is awesome! I've really enjoyed using it during closed beta, so I'm excited to see the new features and for more people to have access to it.
They just sent everyone waiting confirmation that they can log in.
Have they added the ability to pause downloads yet? I was redownloading The Witcher 3 the other day and was surprised that I only had the option to cancel the download, so that seems like a big oversight.
Yeah, there's a dedicated downloads page now with pausing and whatnot.
Is there a way when logging in under my Microsoft account to have it just show my games that are installable on PC and not all of my old Xbox One games?
Windows store games seem to work but gamepass is buggy. I have 5 gamepass games installed but only 2 them is found by gog galaxy.
Hey all! Wanted to drop in and make a thread but you've been faster than me ;) Below I'm adding our official press release about the open beta. Also, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me and I'll try to answer them. And do try out the app and let us know what you think. Thanks!

GOG GALAXY 2.0, the free application to bring together all your games and friends in one place is now available for everyone to test. Visit www.gogalaxy.com and join other gamers.

GOG GALAXY 2.0 conveniently shows you all your games as one library and makes it easier than ever to stay in touch with your friends across PC and console platforms.
"For the past few years, we've seen continuous fragmentation of our game collections and gaming friends lists, further proving the need for an application that unites them all," says Piotr Karwowski, Managing Director at GOG.

"We're amazed and thankful for the reaction from the community to the app and taking it even further by creating integrations with 20 gaming platforms – allowing everyone to see all their games and friends in GOG GALAXY 2.0."
The closed beta brought numerous big updates like seeing friends' online status from different platforms in GOG GALAXY 2.0 or adding Global Search. The latter allows multiple options – finding games and friends, launching games with a single press of a key and giving the ability to manually add any game to the library.

I really really want more nuance and ease of use for sorting and categories (bookmarks).
Using tags is fine but it feels a bit clunky. My instinctive approach to making a new category is to right click on the left side bar. I'd prefer being able to do that and then tag stuff as appropriate to add them in.
Additionally, with the plethora of libraries available to sync (and all the games that come along with it), the left sidebar is desparately in need of a folder structure of some sort. So I could group all of Xbox / PlayStation etc. into a 'Console Games' category for example. At the minute it feels too restrictive - it took me awhile just to figure out how to add an existing tag to my bookmark list.
Here's my current workaround:

Nice to see Total War: Three Kingdoms and Alien Isolation in the trailer video ;)
I am loving GOG Galaxy 2.0 personally. It already feels better, looks better and has more options that I want from a games library than the new Steam update from a month or so ago. It's a little crazy to see my library at over 800, it's quite the scroll down to get to some games but I love that they all have images and such unlike the new steam library where half my library is grey with small artwork.

Really impressed by how smooth the process was here - like, when it folded the various versions of For Honor I have (Steam/EGS/Uplay) into a single link, instead of a bunch of icons next to each other, I felt a weird sense of satisfaction.
I think in general I like Steam too much to switch away entirely, but it's a great way to look at everything else under one roof, and fold the various publisher exclusive launchers into one - for the four Ubisoft games I own, Overwatch, a smattering of Origin games... no need to keep them cluttering my desktop.

also extremely impressed with how smooth it's been. linked steam, xbox, psn, uplay, origin, epic, all of them and it just worked. super cool. the only downside i can see so far is you cannot set command line launch flags, which would be useful for compatibility on older games.
One problem is it's including all the PS4 games I rented through GameFly. I thinks I own them even though I don't. Maybe it's looking at trophies or something?
I guess there's no other way for it to track physical console games. I assumed it would just track digital console purchases.

GOG GALAXY 2.0 takes the information from your PSN account, and if you look into your PSN profile on the console you can see all the games you played on PS4, not only the digital ones. But if you want to see only the games you actually own, you can always hide any game in your GOG GALAXY 2.0 library - just right-click on the game, and choose "Hide game" option.
what happens if i hide a game (like in the case above where i no longer have it available to use) but then get that game on PC or Xbox or something. since they fold down to unique titles, will that PC version be added in but remain hidden in the title or will it unhide the title?
That's an interesting question :) I actually checked this now. If you buy a game that is hidden in your GOG GALAXY 2.0 on a different platform than the one you own it already on, the game will become visible in the app and both versions will be stacked together.
perfect! that's exactly what i hoped it would do. sorry, i know i could have tested myself :)
Also I'm sure people somewhere are requesting Twitch integration and I'm gonna add another vote for that. Just about all the games I have on my Twitch account are games I don't own anywhere else, and it'd be nice for GOG to keep track of them so I remember I own them.
I'd suggest looking on GitHub, there are even more integrations for GOG GALAXY 2.0 there.
Did GOG ever add support for Twitch prime/Amazon games? I just installed the launcher for the 1st time ever and apparently I have over 100 games on there..lol
no - looks like there's not a (community) plugin for that yet. i wonder if Twitch has an API for it that could even be hooked into?
Look what I found! I havent been able to test it yet though.
interesting, it doesn't show up via wildcard or direct search in the GOG app search function. i wonder what more needs to be done to have it "recognized". but good find.
If you do try it let me know how it works. Someone has a bug report saying that games won't show up until you have installed at least 1 game, but I don't know if that's fixed.
I installed that plugin a few days ago, it seems to list games correctly but didn't try launching any. One thing is that it acts a bit weird if you don't have the Twitch app running, it just says it failed to connect. Get logged in on the Twitch app and it seems fine.
I will say it feels like the community plugin search option in GOG's settings page doesn't work. I can't find anything, including plugins I know exist, even if I copy-paste the full github title. And once I do find a plugin through other sources, there's no install instructions. The plugin authors appear to be largely using GOG's boilerplate, so if GOG's example had default install instructions maybe they'd carry through to simpler plugins. More complex plugins should be expected to change the install instructions.
This page might be useful, it's a collection of community plugins with a link to updaters.

The emulator plugins only make me want a big screen UI version of GOG Galaxy that much more.
