I received word this morning that GOG's Winter Sale is now live. From how through January 2, 2023 at 11PM (UTC), you will be able to save up to 90% off of over 4,500 items. Not only that, but during The Winter Sale, GOG will be giving away six free titles that you can add to your account and keep forever.
The six freebies that you will be able to add to your account aren't all available at once. They will be given out ever few days of the event. However, if you miss adding a game to your account, you missed out for good. There's no going back. So you'll want to keep up to date on these freebies by checking back at GOG every so often.
The first free game is Ghost of a Tale, an action-RPG where you play as a mouse and minstrel caught up in a perilous adventure. Ghost of a Tale is available now until December 15th at 2PM (UTC) for you to add to your account. After that game is another freebie that has yet to be announced. GOG says there will also be some "additional free digital goodies" added in addition to the free games.
Today's press release includes a list of several titles that are on sale which may be of interest to you. There is also some information included about new OpenCritic integration coming soon to GOG
GOG is bringing you thousands of great deals, including all-time bestsellers. Take a quick look at the shortlist below and see what you can expect:
Master of Magic, a combination of an RPG and strategy game, was originally released in the 90s and became widely considered a classic. Now, after almost 30 years since its release, the game receives a remastered version from Slitherine and will be available on GOG from December 13th, 3.40 PM UTC. Take on the role of a powerful wizard and dominate the world.
You’ve probably heard the great news already – The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is receiving a free Next-Gen Update. It will feature dozens of visual, performance, and technical enhancements as well as new content including Netflix DLC, Photo Mode, and a new mission for Geralt to complete. The Update will be available on GOG on December 14th at midnight UTC. The Next-Gen Update will be available for everyone who already owns any release of the game on GOG.
Still not enough? Then look at two bundle offers with a 90% and 57% discount respectively. The first one includes strategy games (Hard West Collector's Edition, Krush Kill ‘N Destroy 2: Krossfire, and Cossacks Anthology), while the second one is a little bit kinky (with such titles like Alternate DiMansion Diary, Succumate, HuniePop). Don’t wait up; both bundles are subject to availability and may end at any time.
The launch of The Winter Sale is also a great opportunity to announce OpenCritic implementation to GOG's gamecards. It’s one of the most renowned and respected review aggregation websites for video games, and introducing it to the GOG platform aims to provide the community the best possible experience both on GOG and GOG GALAXY. The feature is currently being live-tested, so don’t worry if some of you don’t see it yet – you will soon.​
