Design Update - Our New Navigation is here

A few weeks ago, we launched the beta testing phase for our new site navigation. Our design team has been hard at work implementing it, as well as working in some of the changes suggested by all of you who partook in the accompanying survey. Thank you very much for all your responses and feedback!

With that being said, we are very pleased with how well the new nav has been received, so we are now happy to roll it out for all of you.


New Site Navigation - some key ch...

Vortex 1.0 Release

Back towards the end of 2016 we began work on a new mod manager, Vortex, to replace the ageing Nexus Mod Manager. Unfortunately, we considered this change a necessary act considering the mess that NMM was (and still is) in.

When we first started work on Vortex we were very aware that, over the 6 years that we worked on Nexus Mod Manager, it remained in a state of permanent beta which reflected our lack of confidence in the software's ability to remain stable and provide a solid exper...

Meme Mania: Wrap up and winners!

A few weeks ago we launched our Meme Mania community event where we asked you guys to come up with gaming and/or modding related, humorous memes and potentially win one of three game keys for a game of your choice on GOG.com! 

Many of you have submitted their memes and we had a blast looking through them all and picking our ten favourites. As a reminder: two of the three keys for a game of your choice on GOG.com go to two randomly chosen users from the jury selection, whereas one ke...

Issues with Pay Pal payments over the past couple of weeks

We've noticed an increase in support tickets recently related to payments failing when attempting to purchase Supporter or Premium Membership on the site. This issue seems to have only affected a small subset of people who have purchased membership through Pay Pal, but it's important I get the word out so these users are not out of pocket or out of membership they legitimately paid for on the site.

The issue was caused by a communication error between Pay Pal's services and our servi...

Vortex support added: Blade & Sorcery

We've been chatting with the team behind Blade & Sorcery about the official modding support included in update 6 of the game and are pleased to announce full Vortex support for Blade & Sorcery. 

To start modding the game with Vortex, you'll need 0.18.11 or above and Blade & Sorcery 6.0 or above. Then you just need to click the "Download with Manager" or "Vortex" buttons found on the mod pages.



Vortex allows you to easily install and uninstall you...

Meme Mania: Make memes and win a game of your choice!

Do you like memes? Do you like the idea of winning one of 3 GOG keys for a game of your choice? Then we have great news for you: submit a fresh modding and/or gaming related meme and one of the three game keys could be yours!

With our last Community Screenshot Event having been a great success, we thought it’s time to run another enticing event, this time centred around humour and fun in the form of modding memes!

What we mean by that is, essen...

Turning off the legacy API

Following the announcement 3 months ago, today is the day we'll be turning off our legacy modding API. This system has been fully replaced by the new Nexus Mods API and is therefore redundant.

What does this mean?
Any applications using this service will no longer be able to log in, retrieve mod information or handle downloads from our site. We've been working with the developers who maintain some of the most popular modding tools to help them make the transition to the new API...
