What is GOG Galaxy 2.0? The multi-platform PC games launcher

GOG Galaxy 2.0 is a wonderful concept of a PC games launcher that puts all your favourite games in one place.
It's essentially a single library for all your games from Steam, Origin, UPlay and Epic Store, as well as games from GOG.com (naturally). Various integrations in GOG Galaxy 2.0 mean it works with 20 gaming platforms currently.
From GOG Galaxy 2.0 you can install and launch any game, without having to open separate launchers. You can also keep track of your achievements, have all your friends in one place and more.
