GOG Galaxy is a new PC game distribution client similar to Steam, minus the negatives such as always online requirement and mandatory DRM. Its catalog includes new games like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt as well as classics such as Planescape: Torment and Ice Wind Dale.
Though GOG Galaxy is still in beta (final release features will include ability to rollback game updates and notifications) there are a few things you can still do to make the most of it.
This guide tells you how to manage your GOG game downloads and extras. It's a handy feature that lets you install games on a faster hard drive, or to keep all the installers on a different hard drive in the event of a hard drive crash, or if your usual location cannot take any more data.
- Download GOG Galaxy. Go to the GOG website and download the Beta.
- Install GOG Galaxy in a location of your choosing.
- Run the app. Click on the settings gear cog icon on the bottom left. This opens the settings menu.
- Under Folders, you can set where you want to install the games you download. Either click the box with three dots to browse for a directory, or manually type it in the box provided.
- In the Settings menu, tick the box that says Manage all folders manually.
- Now you can choose where to download your games and extras that come along with it. Either click the box with three dots to choose a directory or manually type it in the box provided.
From now on any game you buy on GOG Galaxy is installed at a location of your choice.
