GOG’s Preservation Program launched in late 2024 and the number of included games has doubled since the initial wave, currently sitting at 183. The latest headline-grabbing additions are the first four mainline Devil May Cry games and Mortal Kombat 1+2+3.
Devil May Cry: HD Collection was first released in 2012 and includes the first three entries in Capcom’s enduring action series, all playable in 1080p/60fps (a big deal at the time). Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition, which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year, has also been added. Add to these the Mortal Kombat trilogy and you’ve got major entries in two of the most influential series in their respective genres guaranteed to be compatible with modern hardware and protected against DRM.
The GOG Preservation Program pledges to ensure classic games remain playable beyond the point that their developers stop supporting them, safeguarding them for future generations to discover. As gaming moves even further towards an all-digital future, preservation remains a hot topic in the industry, with major publishers such as Ubisoft making a point of reminding players that they don’t technically own the digital games they purchase (see: The Crew 2 players).
Until July 2, you’ll be able to purchase the newly added Devil May Cry games as a bundle for 67 percent off. Here are the other games also joining GOG’s service this month.
