GOG looks like it’s in a much healthier spot after a hairy 2021

The CD Projekt-owned PC gaming storefront GOG just released a “facts and figures” breakdown of 2022 in an official blog post (opens in new tab). The upshot? GOG experienced steady growth in its user base and library while also turning a tidy $1.2 million profit. It’s a heartening turnaround to see as the service actually lost money⁠—$1.15 million to be exact⁠—the previous year.

GOG saw a near-20% expansion of its user base last year, though interestingly the number of active GOG Galaxy (the service’s desktop client) users merely remained steady⁠. It’s tough getting around launcher fatigue these days, and GOG Galaxy is not a requirement to use the storefront⁠—you can buy and download these games off the GOG website.
