GOG Now Supports Xbox Account Login
In a move that streamlines the experience for both PC and Xbox gamers, GOG (Good Old Games) — the renowned DRM-free digital game storefront by CD Projekt — has rolled out the option to log in using your Xbox account.
Announced just yesterday, via GOG’s social media, the new feature allows Xbox users to log into GOG directly with their Xbox credentials. This makes browsing the store, managing purchases, and accessing accounts far simpler, removing the need for separate logins. GOG is highlighting this as a convenient way for Xbox gamers to begin or expand a DRM-free library, keeping with its philosophy of letting players truly own the games they purchase without extra restrictions.
This update aligns with Microsoft's broader push to unify gaming across platforms. As part of its evolving Xbox PC app initiatives—especially with the upcoming ROG Xbox Ally handheld—Microsoft aims to centralise multiple game storefronts into one seamless experience. GOG’s inclusion sits front and centre in the new “My Apps” interface Xbox is testing, making store-hopping a thing of the past.
This addition represents greater convenience and flexibility. Being able to sign in with an Xbox account removes one more barrier to accessing GOG, allowing gamers to move more smoothly between platforms. It also opens the door to GOG’s expansive DRM-free catalog, where games are free from restrictive launchers and activation requirements. By integrating with Xbox’s ecosystem, the login option also supports Microsoft’s larger vision of cross-platform gaming, ensuring that devices like the ROG Xbox Ally will feel more unified and user-friendly for players everywhere.
GOG’s Xbox login integration is a small but meaningful step toward a more open, user-friendly gaming future. It simplifies account access and bolsters the union between console and PC ecosystems. If you're an Xbox user exploring DRM-free gaming or seeking a smoother way to access GOG, this update delivers on both.
Do you think this is a good feature to have for the ROG Xbox Ally handhelds? Let us know in the comments.
I created this website as I feel the state of the games industry and games reporting as a whole has gotten overly negative and full of clickbait. While I understand both of these are a great way to generate engagement, it’s a detriment to those gamers (like myself) that are just trying to enjoy games and not have to worry about the negativity of the current state of the gaming industry. I want a space where gamers can come for unbiased news that doesn’t rely on clickbait or rumours with a dash of humour and have the opportunity to share their passion for games.
