With Windows 10 due at the end of the month,
GOG.com
announces their support for the new operating system, saying they hope to
offer a "near-seamless transition" for the good old games offered on their
service:
Currently, we are very optimistic about July 29th and hope you
will make a near-seamless transition to gaming on the newest version of your
Windows operating system.
GOG.com has always been about making sure our releases, especially the
classics, are tested and playable out of the box on modern computers.
When GOG.com launched in 2008, Windows XP was by far the most popular operating
system among gamers. Ever since then we've meticulously tested our entire
library to introduce Day 1 compatibility with every new Windows release. We've
done it for Windows 7, we've done it for Windows 8 - now we're doing it all
again for Windows 10.
So far, things are looking great. We're encountering very few problems and most
of those are either resolvable on our end, or likely to get fixed as Windows 10
nears release. In fact, many games that had issues on operating systems newer
than Windows XP once again won’t suffer any hiccups on Windows 10. The OS is
still a work in progress, so while anything can happen until the release date
we're confident for the future. This is the smoothest transition to a brand new
system that we've ever worked on.
Some games may need a patch to run perfectly smoothly, but don't worry - they
will be available on the site, and if you use
GOG Galaxy, your games will be ready to
go automatically.
