A GOG Galaxy alternative that reads your PC
Like GOG Galaxy, ORION brings the games from every store into a single library. The difference: ORION looks at your graphics card, processor and display, tells you what your PC can run, writes the settings for you and compares prices. It has no social features, and needs no account.
What GOG Galaxy does better
Honestly, from its official site, checked on 8 October 2026.
- The most social: achievements, playtime and friends from every platform in one place, cross-platform chat.
- Cloud saves and automatic updates for GOG games; also available on Mac.
- The built-in GOG store, and open-source community integrations for the other platforms.
What ORION adds
Settings written for you
two cards, "Your screen" (the best-looking setting that holds your display's refresh rate) and "My choice"; backup first, one-click return to the original state, never during a session.
Real prices
over thirty approved stores compared (IsThereAnyDeal data), official stores first, a wishlist with price alerts, the free games of the moment.
Outdated drivers
by hardware ID: Windows Update, the latest NVIDIA version for your card series, your Dell, Lenovo or HP model's catalog. ORION tells you where to get the right version; it never installs anything.
No account
nothing to create, nothing sent without your consent, no ads. In English and French.

Switch without losing anything
You mostly play with friends spread across platforms, or on a Mac: keep GOG Galaxy. You want to know what your PC can run, tune it without spending the evening on it and buy at the right price: try ORION. Both can live side by side: ORION never touches GOG Galaxy's library.
1. Install ORIONfrom the Microsoft Store or the installer on this site; no administrator rights.
2. Let it scanit finds the games of every launcher on your drives, then reads your hardware.
3. Playpick a card in a game's page, then Play: settings are written after a backup.
Questions

For the library, yes: ORION reads the games from Steam, Epic, GOG, Xbox, Ubisoft, EA, Battle.net and Ankama. For friends, chat and GOG cloud saves, no: keep GOG Galaxy if you use them.
Do I need an account?
No. ORION works without an account. You can connect Steam, GOG or Xbox to also see games you own but haven't installed; ORION never sees your password.
Is ORION free?
Yes, with no ads. It is funded by donations and partner links to some stores, which change neither the price nor the order of offers.
