GOG's preservation label highlights classic games it's maintaining for modern hardware


GOG is launching an effort to help make older video games playable on modern hardware.

The GOG Preservation Program will label the classic titles that the platform has taken steps to adapt in order to make them compatible with contemporary computer systems, controllers and screen resolutions, all while adhering to its DRM-free policy. The move could bring new life to games of decades past, just as GOG did two years ago with a refresh of the 1999 title Wheel of Time. NHL 25 is slated to get a sizable content update at the end of the year, thanks to a partnership with the Professional Women's Hockey League.
