GOG announces Preservation Program, aims to maintain game compatibility with modern and future systems


GOG has announced a new Preservation Program, which aims to maintain games' compatibility with modern and future systems.

"By maintaining these iconic titles, GOG helps you protect and relive the memories that shaped you, DRM-free and with dedicated tech support," the team wrote. In addition, GOG shared a number of preservation stories, including Heroes of Might and Magic 3, which first released over two decades ago. GOG "revived" it 10 years ago, and an update today fixed non-playing intros in Russian and French versions of the game, validated stability and "verified compatibility" with Windows 10 and 11.
