GOG Galaxy 2.0, the desktop launcher from CD Projekt’s GOG that takes all your games and puts them all in once place, has received a fresh update that corrects a few bugs and introduces new features.

The launcher is capable of playing any installed game from services such as Steam, Windows Store, Battle.net, UPlay, Epic, and Origin. It also supports Steam and Xbox Live achievements and even some console titles.

Update 2.0.3 comes with a nice set of new features, including the ability to hide games in your Library. This is especially handy for gamers who have an exceptionally large library and don’t need to see every game they’ve ever played in one place.

The update also adds tutorials for Bookmarks and Friends Recommendations, and implements mechanics that allow for recording Last Played time for games without Game Time Tracking.

It’s also fixed alignments of items in the Settings window when using non-English language and fixed the Settings window size on small monitors.

The service is still in beta and is currently only accessible via invites. If you want to sign up, you can follow the link here.
