- You need Galaxy 2.0
- Go to Owned Games, find Witcher 3, click on it - you should be able to see banner with "Claim now" button

Fixed after reinstall even it was showing up-to date

My Galaxy got update before I've tried to check game page (haven't started it on that PC for a while), so there's a chance that I had no chance to see this issue =)

Bought it on GOG not so long ago (and have it on Steam for some time)
Anyway, I'm happy to support GOG/CDPR, hope they will stay good guys.
Comment has been collapsed.
I also did the same thing. Bought the boxed version a couple years ago to support CDPR, which also helps to increase local game selling count. They deserved this.

You can still get a giftable code of the game to give to your friends :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Unrelated question. I have seen your DP in multiple profiles, but I don't know where it is from. Can you please tell me where it is from? Is it from a game?
Comment has been collapsed.
I heard about it and tried it (thought to gift it to my friend) and got Base Game as separate item. Their support in theory may help, but I don't want to bother them right now because they should have a lot of same tickets.
Anyway, thank you for letting now.

Well its "free game" given by the dev. If things work well, you will receive the GOTY edition Even if it is the standard edition, it is already a great "giveaway".

Hi, I own the game, but if anyone feeling generous to pass the spare GOG code,I know s.o who will be very glad to have it, thanks in advance :D

I have GOTY on steam and got ONLY vanilla version of game.
I guess it will not work for everyone or at least it will be available later (GOTY version)
Comment has been collapsed.
Same here.
I assume they have bug with GOTY detection since in Steam it's Sub, but not App.
Steam client show game like vanilla + bunch of DLCs.
Comment has been collapsed.
I saw someone on GOG forum suggest it could happen if you bought the DLCs separately, but I'm pretty sure I bought entire GOTY and still got only the base game from this.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yep, same. But i am not sure if we didn't receive Goty edition or maybe we did but it shows like the base game?
Since when you search on Steam it shows like W3: Wild Hunt as well, you don't see GOTY tag.
Comment has been collapsed.
same, I have entire GOTY for 5$ on Steam but GOG can't detect it :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Same here. I just checked the licenses and purchases on steam, it was The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Game of the Year Edition, but i still got the wrong version on gog.

Worked like a charm! Thank for a tip OP
Comment has been collapsed.
Anyway, it kinda sucks...
I own GOTY edition and got vanilla one, even if the FAQ says otherwise.
Edit: opened gog a support ticket
Comment has been collapsed.
Same here. I'll wait that finish importing, but the only version that appeared was the base game.
Edit. Didn't show. Hope they fix this.

I bought the GOTY version on steam, is listed like that in my purchase.
Comment has been collapsed.
go to your GOG games list and check if in name you have just Wild Hunt or Wild Hunt GOTY
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmm, looks like it is bugged for me as well. Hopefully, they will fix that.

Go to Licenses https://store.steampowered.com/account/licenses/ and search for "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Game of the Year Edition".

It's shown like that in my licenses page, but only the base game was activated on GOG

Took several minutes till the banner appeared in my Galaxy app, but it did.

Own base game on GOG, GOTY on Steam. Lets see if this works getting me the DLCs/GOTY on GOG, then ...
... but as somebody with too many Steam games, a slow computer, and very slow internet, it looks like it will be a day or two before I find out ;)
(According to their FAQ, it should, at least.)
Comment has been collapsed.
Own GotY on Steam but got the base game. Let's see if there is a fix for this.
Edit: The issue is now resolved. Got the GotY entry in GoG galaxy and claim button again. Clicking on that, Got the GotY added in my GoG library.

Damn, did not realize this! 8 Years! I don't remember why and how I joined the site but I did win Red Faction in the First or Second month.
Thanks for reminding! Now, I'll have to create some GAs but too lazy for now. I think weekend would be a good time.

Do you need to give GOG your Steam password to get it?

Gog crashing when tries to sync up my steam library.
Comment has been collapsed.
Same. Have been trying for an hour now, getting nowhere. Every time I start it up again it first tries to sync my GOG library, and 3 out of 4 tries it already crashes halfway through that, plus the client is just generally unresponsive.
Compared to this, even the new Steam library works well on my potato >_>
(And I already own base Witcher 3 on GOG since its release anyway -- and seeing what others are reporting, I probably won't get the DLC anyway even though I own GOTY on Steam ...)
Edit: Yep, only got base game on GOG, despite owning GOTY (bought as GOTY, not separately) on Steam.
Comment has been collapsed.
GoG Galaxy 2.0 worked fine when the client first launched for me... but a few months back it just started crashing like you describe for me too when syncing. Even if you restart the client over and over until it's done, it ends up saying "Could not load data, click to retry" every time, making the client useless.
I'm assuming it's due to the size of the Steam library, but who knows? Hopefully it gets resolved at some point. :/
Comment has been collapsed.
I can confirm, it refuses to sync my Steam library onto the GOG Galaxy 2.0.16 in the same manner as described by you.
Plus "Plugin has crashed. Retry." in the Gear Symbol -> Settings -> Integrations tab. Best we can hope for is a fix soon enough.
Everyone who experiences this, should report it from the imbedded support of the application. Gear Symbol -> Report Issue
Comment has been collapsed.
Same with me. At least it saves what it already imported before each crash so you don't start over from scratch each time.
Comment has been collapsed.
Also only got base game on galaxy. Not very useful, as if I ever want to replay the game I'd play it on Steam, where I have the dlc. Zero chance of me re-buying the dlc on gog.

Glad this lasts some days, currently hospitalized so can't claim it until I'm back home, one of those things you can't do from a phone.

Also free if you have just played once with Xbox Game Pass
Comment has been collapsed.
So, theoritically, one can join game pass for 1$ then sync witcher 3?
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, never played or bought Witcher 3. I just downloaded the game with Game Pass, then synced.
Comment has been collapsed.
Is this only for console? I'm not sure if Witcher 3 is on the PC game pass?
Comment has been collapsed.
You're right, but again, theoritically, if i join gamepass ultimate for Xbox, synced my new xbox game pass library via GOG, it's syncable? or do I have to download the game or play it first via an xbox?
Comment has been collapsed.
You have to play it first, just only opening it actually.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm pretty sure you'd have to play it at least once, just joining doersnt change your account
I know its not exactly the same, but for example, I'm on the full Game Pass so I can play the PC games, but I dont get any free Games For Gold from the console permanently applied to my account because I dont actually have a console (i.e. not everything gets automatically added to my account)
EDIT: looks liek Jacknot22 beat me to it :-p
Comment has been collapsed.
WOW, hola, so basically, this trick can help u buy the game on GOG for $1 if u have Xbox xD
Strange that they let this happen, or was it their small hidden giveaway.
If u really can buy this masterpiece with just $1, it's a steal with donation :)

Hi, not sure what u mean, but are u having a giftable GOG code, I own the game but know s.o who will be very glad to have it, thanks in advance bro :D

is linking steam on gog galaxy 100% safe? i already linked other platforms there
Comment has been collapsed.
All connections other than Microsoft is 3rd party on Galaxy (user made, not GOG) and Steam connection somehow uses a different login window instead of regular openid thing. That's why I didn't connect my Steam account.
I had actually created a topic on GOG about this: https://www.gog.com/forum/general_beta_gog_galaxy_2.0/why_is_steam_integration_different_than_the_others
Comment has been collapsed.
u are right, this risk seems exploitable somehow, but I still connect it for the sync, better take care your Steam with multiple protection then :)

Grabbed, I have GOTY on Steam so I don't know what GOG for, but free is free, thanks for sharing :)

They're investigating the problem (having GOTY but getting the standard edition instead).

Unfortunately Playstation 4 owners seem to be SOOL as there has been an issue with the playstation integration for a while now. When trying to log in you get timed out by the server and so are unable to actually claim it on gog.

When trying to sync my Steam Library in the GOG client it is giving me an error.
"Sorry, we couldn't load the data. retry"
On the settings window at the Integrations it shows also an error:
" Plugin has crashed. Retry"
Anyone know how to fix this?
Already closed the program and tried again.
It could be related that my Steam library is kinda big.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeh ,i think it is + reddit hug of death. I had one crash and 4 or 5 "couldn't load the data. retry".
This is what i posted elsewhere ,i got the game even though it was still halfway through importing my steam library.
I did a search for 'the witcher' after syncing steam with gog through GOG Galaxy.
There's a little search box at the top of your Galaxy client.
I opened up "The Witcher 3" from search results.
On The Witcher 3 page there is a small image with a "claim now" button.
I already had the dlc on Gog from a free offer they did a while ago so that might help some people if they don't have the full game on steam.
Maybe you also got that got free dlc offer ,it didn't need ownership of the main game to claim it..
