GOG.com has announced that it will introduce storage restrictions on files stored in its cloud from August 31, 2024, which will be implemented in 200 megabytes for each game which supports the synchronization of saved games.

The reason for setting this limit is not hard to guess and it is because the resources available to CD PROJEKT are limited. The growing size of games stored in the cloud causes them to take up a lot of space on your servers, so you need to set a limit to ensure that the feature works for everyone.

You need to consider the limitations of cloud storage will be imposed on GOG.com starting August 31, 2024, as users who have not taken backup steps may see the excess being unilaterally removed by the platform. Unnecessary files that are not related to games will be deleted first, and then the oldest save files will be deleted until the space is adjusted to the specified 200 MB per game.

Contrary to what GOG.com reported, GamingOnLinux explains that Steam does not have a fixed limit and that it depends on the game, so the amount can range from a few megabytes to more than a gigabyte. If you don’t want to lose your game saves of any game on GOG.com with support for Windows or macOS, because GOG Galaxy doesn’t support Linux and native games for this system can’t be synced in the cloud at least officially, We strongly recommend switching to GOG.com cloud storage management.

When it comes to 200MB of cloud storage for each game on GOG.com, it seems like quite a few titles will be lacking. The image in the article corresponds to what my save files take up. Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition. I have about 70 saves now and I’ve barely progressed through the game. Additionally, it only supports a maximum of 1,000 saves locally, so obviously I won’t be able to sync everything via the cloud. Hopefully GOG.com will keep the old saves local even if they don’t sync them over the cloud.
