The platform will be able to track which games a user has, as well how much they play a certain game. Users of the GOG Galaxy 2.0 platform will also be able to connect other gaming accounts to a GOG account. This means users will be able to connect accounts across a number of different platforms, including [Steam](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blizzard-x-steam), Epic, [Origin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corsair-call-of-duty-warzone), Uplay as well as consoles like Xbox Live and [PlayStation Network](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sony-ps-plus) accounts. Users of the platform will be able to see and access their gaming titles on one screen in alphabetical order. GOG was originally created as a market place for classic games but then expanded into a market place that sold indie games. However, now the platform could expand to be an all-encompassing platform for users.
