How to Downgrade or Revert to a Previous GOG Galaxy Game Version

Unlike other platforms, GOG Galaxy lets you easily revert to older game versions—a lifesaver for compatibility issues or preferred builds. Follow our expert guide to roll back safely.

Step-by-Step: Restore GOG Galaxy Game to Previous Version

Post-update crashes? Downgrade without hassle, but note: avoid undoing master branch updates to keep the feature available. Not all games support this.

1. Launch GOG Galaxy on your PC.
2. Select your game.
3. Click Customize (top-right, next to Play).
4. Expand Manage Installation and choose Configure.
5. In the Installation screen, uncheck Automatically update to the latest version.
6. Select your desired previous version and click OK.

Previous versions will now appear. Choose one, confirm, and enjoy. This works reliably across supported titles.

Bonus: Connect Steam to GOG Galaxy

GOG Connect adds DRM-free versions of select Steam games to your GOG library for free. Install the tool, link your Steam account, and it handles the rest.
