CD Projekt's digital platform announces program to preserve classic PC games, ensuring they remain playable on modern systems.
GOG has announced an ambitious game preservation initiative aimed at keeping classic PC games playable for future generations. The program involves working directly with original developers and publishers to update old games for modern operating systems while maintaining their DRM-free philosophy. The initiative has already secured rights to over 500 classic titles, with plans to add more monthly. GOG is investing in developing compatibility layers and wrappers that allow games from the DOS and early Windows eras to run smoothly on current hardware. The platform is also creating comprehensive documentation for each preserved game, including development history and cultural impact. This effort has been praised by gaming historians and preservationists worldwide.
