GOG Galaxy 2.0 Atlas Update Goes Live, Adding Global Search and Other Features-September 2024
Sep 22, 2024 8:26 PM

  GOG announced the availability of a new update, code-named Atlas, for the Galaxy 2.0 client. There are some brand new features such as Global Search and Grid and list vies customization.

  The Galaxy 2.0 client is still in beta, with the ambitious goal to create a bridge between all the platforms (PC and consoles). Check out the full Atlas changelog below.

  Global Search

  Find games, friends, or metadata with the new search button (or Ctrl+F/CMD+F). Quick actions like launching games or starting a chat are also available from Global Search.

  Manual game adding

  Games found with Global Search can be marked as owned, and then linked to an executable for launching and game time tracking.

  Downloads view

  Manage your active, queued, and completed downloads from a new section that appears in the sidebar automatically (for GOG.COM games only).

  Grid and list views customization

  New columns are available in the library list view. Reorder and toggle columns in the list view, customize additional info shown in the grid view, or sort and group with new options.
