90% of GOG.com games officially supported in Windows 8

A lot of you have been asking recently if we’re going to support Windows 8 officially. Our answer has been, “let’s wait for the release of the OS and we’ll look into it and see.” Well, Windows 8 has been out for a while, and as such we’ve had time to look into it. We have good news, and we bet you’re never gonna guess what it is!

Windows 8 support? Oh. Wow. Yeah. Good guess. How did you--wow. That was a good guess.

So as of today we're adding official Windows 8 support for most of the games in GOG.com catalog. There are currently 431 titles fixed, tested, and reported to be working properly under Microsoft's new OS. Note that most of these have not had the master builds updated, so you shouldn’t need to redownload the installer or anything. Some of the titles, our build ninjas performed their usual magic on, and they’ll work now in Windows 8--and we’re even adding Windows 7 support to a few. We’ll also be adding more Windows 8 games as time goes by and we’ve got time to apply some fixes to more of the classic games in the catalog.

We’re bringing the best games in history to the new OS, If you’ve got any questions about it, let us know in the comments below.

Didn't expect that so soon. But if you're going to support the newest OS, at least do it properly.

/Fenixp approves

Still waiting patiently (well... kind of patiently) for linux support.

Haegemonia Gold Edition is listed as working on Win 8, but I can not get it to work on 3 different Win 8 64bit computers. Crashes after intro movies when going to the main menu.

Darn, it looks like riven was not updated.
Game still has issues on win7.

I have no plan in moving to Windows 8 ever...would prefer moving to Linux or staying with 7.

bloodywing: Oh snap win 8 support, we're doomed :D

I think Gog can't do much about Linux Support alot of games need to be rewritten for that (No DirectX on Linux)

I know there is wine, and some games even run better with wine than they would on windows 7 or 8, but it's not the same as running the games native on linux (i'm not talking about dosbox games or open source ports).

Don't care.

Will care when you announce Linux support.

Android as well.

Yay, I guess.

Disappointed that Windows 8 support was added before all the games I've bought got Windows 7 support.
