It used to be far simpler for PC gamers a decade ago. Really there was only one storefront and game launcher: Steam. Sure, Blizzard's Battle.net was around, but the major player was Valve with Steam and its incredible hold on the digital market. That is until publishers decided they no longer wanted to split the revenue with Valve and wanted their own storefronts. This began to create issues for PC gamers who had to install numerous launchers. They thought it couldn't get any worse, but it did. Steam failed to take action in clearing up its catalog, the client continues to lag behind the competition, and Gabe isn't quite the savior the PC gaming community hoped he'd become. Now, in 2019, we have Epic aggressively pushing forward with timed exclusives, essentially throwing Fortnite money at a monopoly problem it claims to be looking to solve. The solution could be right in front of our eyes from the beloved Polish publisher CD Projekt. Here's GOG Galaxy version 2.0 and it could unite everyone under a single roof.

GOG already had its Galaxy client as a Steam-lite experience, but the company is turning it into the one launcher to unite them all. Previously, you'd only find GOG-listed games in the Galaxy client and it was pretty basic in terms of community features. This is all set to change with version 2.0. GOG Galaxy 2.0 is currently in closed beta but already you can clearly see the direction CD Projekt is looking to take. Your GOG account is a base, which you then build upon by connecting all your other accounts, be it Steam, Origin or Xbox. GOG Galaxy could become the only game launcher you'll need to use on PC. Adding new accounts to synchronize is a simple process, too. Depending on how deep the integration is, you'll be able to import all your games, launch them from within GOG Galaxy, sync achievements and game time, and even chat with friends or see when they're online. That's the goal anyway. In its current form, there are a few features missing from the most common launchers supported by GOG Galaxy. At the time of writing, only Xbox and GOG are "officially supported" integrations; the rest are provided and maintained by the community. After connecting a few of my accounts, it was amazing to see the library begin to pull in all my games, achievements and other metadata. The entire process from logging into my accounts to seeing the last few games being added was around five minutes. GOG Galaxy attempts to match your games to its database of titles, much like Plex does with music, video and other media, which is usually accurate but you can tag stuff and change out images and icons if you really want to micromanage everything.
