Console integration will also be present so that you can view your console libraries.Another useful feature is chat support across all these platforms. So, whether your friend is signed into their Steam account or PlayStation Network account, if they’re in your friends list on the corresponding platform, you will be able to chat with them using GOG Galaxy 2.0.
