GOG Galaxy 2.0 update squashes bugs and lets users hide games in their library

The latest update for GOG's unifying game launcher, Galaxy 2.0, squashes bugs and adds more tutorials to the closed beta. Users can also now hide games from their library, which seems especially important for a client that lists every game on your PC, and even beyond.

GOG also took some time to lay out the known issues it's working to address. Most notably, the client still doesn't have compatibility for Xbox Play Anywhere games. You also can't import games manually, but that's on the way. Some games may also still appear as "Unknown" in your library.

James recently went hands-on time with Galaxy 2.0's closed beta and found it to be the best way to conventionally gather his games across the many launchers in his life.

Here's the full patch notes for Galaxy 2.0.3:
