GOG Galaxy on Linux — The Company's New Strategy and Search for Engineers

After years of anticipation, the GOG store (known for its love of classics and DRM-free approach) has officially declared Linux its "next major milestone." This information was shared through a new job posting for a Senior Software Engineer (C++), who will lead the development of a native client for this operating system.

The shift in GOG's strategy is linked to two key factors that occurred around 2025–2026: a change in ownership and the impact Valve, with its SteamOS, is having on the PC gaming industry.

The job posting states that development should be done "with Linux in mind from day one," hinting at a deep architectural overhaul of GOG Galaxy.
