GOG has revealed that Michał Kiciński, a co-founder of GOG and one of the co-founders of CD Projekt, has acquired GOG, which was recently owned by CD Projekt.
This transition gives GOG the ability to fully embrace its vision of preserving games. GOG has always been about creating a platform where players can obtain classic games, as well as making sure that when players buy a game, they truly own it.
That vision has been what’s driven GOG since it was founded in 2007, and GOG plans to only get stronger in that with this acquisition.
CD Projekt’s long-term goals are to create more high-quality RPGs, and this acquisition lets CD Projekt focus on doing just that. In fact, the studio currently has two major RPGs in development, The Witcher 4 and Cyberpunk 2.
For players, there isn’t much changing. Libraries aren’t affected by the acquisition, and CD Projekt games will still be coming to GOG. DRM-free is still the focus for GOG, and user data is still staying with GOG. GOG Galaxy will still be optional, so players will still be able to access their libraries entirely offline if they choose to do so.
GOG will continue to remain independent, and the funds it receives from the Preservation Program and GOG Patron will continue funding things like rescue missions for classic games. Speaking of, GOG is planning even more ambitious missions for 2026 and 2027, and more news on those will come in the future.
