GOG has become a popular platform for PC gamers to purchase and manage game collections, emphasizing consumer rights and true game ownership. However, a user-maintained catalog titled "Games that treat GOG customers as 2nd Class," last updated on August 11, 2026, lists 1,140 games with a total of 1,531 reported issues, including missing updates (308), languages (100), free DLC (51), paid DLC (200), features (111), soundtracks (439), builds (278), and region locking (12). Developers and publishers are responsible for the content included in GOG submissions, with Devolver Digital and THQ Nordic GmbH noted for having 29 issues each. GOG's DRM-free requirement and smaller user base compared to Steam contribute to these challenges, leading to concerns about the value of purchasing games that may lack features available on other platforms.

Microsoft is planning to enhance the gaming experience by integrating Xbox 360 games onto PC platforms and its upcoming Project Helix console, which will support backward compatibility. Developers will have the option to set their own pricing for PC versions of games and include them in the Game Pass subscription service. This initiative follows a previous announcement about bringing original Xbox games to PC, with an expansion expected in October. Additionally, Microsoft has developed an official emulator, Xe03, for running Xbox 360 games on Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S, and another tool, XeFu, for original Xbox games. Furthermore, a disc-to-digital program is in the works to allow players to convert physical game copies into digital versions, although details about its implementation remain unclear.
