GOG adds a one-click option to install select mods
GOG has made it much easier to install and run game mods , which has long been a sticking point for fans looking to get into fan-made creations. Certain mods will now offer a simple "install" button, so it'll be ready to play with just a single click. These mods come packed in with the game, so you don't even have to peck around the internet for hours on end.
The company promises that each mod has been "pre-packed, pre-tested" and will be "ready to go." There is, however, one major caveat. This feature is only available for a curated selection of mods, so other mods will have to be installed the old-fashioned way. To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings. Please click here and view the "Content and social-media partners" setting to do so.
Luckily, this curated list contains some real gems. These include Heroes of Might and Magic III: Horn of the Abyss and DOOM 3: Phobos . Perhaps the most notable of the bunch is last year's Fallout: London . This impressive fan-made update of Fallout 4 brings the action to London, giving players access to a brand-new, massive map.

The Elder Scrolls: Skyblivion is missing for now, but GOG says this fan-made remake of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion that uses the Skyrim engine is coming soon . However, an official remaster of Oblivion came out earlier this year . If you buy something through a link in this article, we may earn commission.

Devil May Cry and the early Mortal Kombat games join GOG's Preservation Program
GOG's Preservation Program launched in late 2024 and the number of included games has doubled since the initial wave, currently sitting at 183. The latest headline-grabbing additions are the first four mainline Devil May Cry games and Mortal Kombat 1+2+3. Devil May Cry: HD Collection was first released in 2012 and includes the first three entries in Capcom's enduring action series, all playable in 1080p/60fps (a big deal at the time). Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition , which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year, has also been added. Add to these the Mortal Kombat trilogy and you've got major entries in two of the most influential series in their respective genres guaranteed to be compatible with modern hardware and protected against DRM. The GOG Preservation Program pledges to ensure classic games remain playable beyond the point that their developers stop supporting them, safeguarding them for future generations to discover. As gaming moves even further towards an all-digital future, preservation remains a hot topic in the industry, with major publishers such as Ubisoft making a point of reminding players that they don't technically own the digital games they purchase (see: The Crew 2 players). Until July 2, you'll be able to purchase the newly added Devil May Cry games as a bundle for 67 percent off. Here are the other games also joining GOG's service this month.
