GOG is actively developing native Linux support for its Galaxy desktop client, signaling a growing commitment to the platform's role in PC gaming, according to multiple reports. While a specific release date remains unavailable, the move signifies GOG's recognition of Linux's increasing significance within the gaming community.
The announcement follows a recent job listing for a senior software engineer focused on porting the Galaxy client to Linux, as reported by The Verge. In response to a Reddit AMA, the GOG team confirmed that work on native Linux support was already underway. Terrence O'Brien, The Verge's weekend editor, noted that it was "too early to give an ETA," according to the Reddit thread.
This development comes as Linux continues to gain traction in the gaming world. The move by GOG, a platform known for its DRM-free games, underscores the evolving landscape of PC gaming. The Verge reported that this development highlights the platform's rising importance in PC gaming.
Simultaneously, a Baldur's Gate TV series is in development by Craig Mazin, expanding the game's narrative. However, the series is being produced without the direct involvement of the original game developers, which has sparked some fan concerns, according to Hacker News.
