Where Does GOG Galaxy Install Games?
GOG Galaxy default games folder on Windows and how per-game custom locations override it.
Last updated
GOG Galaxy defaults to a Games folder inside its Program Files directory. Each game gets a subfolder there unless you pick otherwise at install.
GOG games are DRM-free, so installed folders are portable in practice. Copying a game folder to another machine usually just works, with Galaxy reimporting it on demand.
Where GOG Galaxy stores this, by platform
C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG Galaxy\Games\[Game Name]
One subfolder per game. Per-game custom paths override this default; verify with Manage installation > Show folder in the client.
Frequently asked questions
How do I find a specific GOG game's folder?
Select the game in Galaxy, click the settings icon next to Play, choose Manage installation > Show folder. That opens the real location for that game.
Can GOG games install outside the default folder?
Yes. Each install picks its own folder at install time, and the Import folder feature adopts existing files elsewhere. The default below applies only when you accept the suggested path.
