GOG has added four nostalgic '90s games to its archive, all of which will be free to claim until May 8, 2026. GOG continues its preservation efforts and, as part of its ongoing program, has partnered with developer xLand, a former Polish studio, to modernize and protect its cult-favorite classics.

The company is considered one of the most influential developers in Poland, with several titles reaching outside the country and finding an audience in places like the United States. One of these games is Electro Manalso known as Electro body in some regions, which is now part of GOG's free-to-claim campaign.
