Heroic Games Launcher update brings initial GOG Galaxy support for Linux users

The Heroic Games Launcher is set to release a new update that will introduce initial support for GOG GALAXY, allowing Linux users to play GOG games that previously required the non-Linux native GOG Galaxy client.

The development version of Heroic now utilizes a project called 'comet' to translate GOG Galaxy API calls using a platform-agnostic SDK, making it feasible to play these games on Linux. This new feature has already been merged into Heroic's main git branch, ensuring its availability in the next official release.

For users who want to try this feature immediately, the git version of Heroic can be built manually, or 'comet' can be run as a standalone process. You can use the guide provided by GamingOnLinux to run comet manually. After successfully installing it, users can launch the comet daemon using a specific command and start their GOG games through Heroic to enjoy your shiny games from there.
