The colorful world of Eternal Strands has been able to capture a wide range of players. Released recently on January 28, 2025, the game’s overall appeal is quite good. As per 2025 standards, the in-game graphics are also commendable. While the game’s global release was recent, its announcement was made back in 2024 along with a Content Creator Program. Ever since then, many players have been wondering about certain aspects of the game, including its release on the GOG platform. GOG is a DRM-free platform, which is why many prefer it. But not all games are available on this. Since Steam and Epic Games are the most popular storefronts for getting games, and their DRM-friendly nature, most developers opt out of providing their games on GOG. So, what’s the situation with Eternal Strands? Is there a GOG release for it? More details on the same are shared below.
The initial reception of Eternal Strands’ global release, at least on Steam, hasn’t been quite great. Maybe this is because the game is available on Game Pass and the Microsoft Store. But despite this, the player numbers on Steam don’t do justice to the game by any means. Anyway, since you are reading this, it is clear that you have quite some interest in the game and are wondering whether it will be available on your preferred storefront. So, without further ado, let’s get right into the details.

Eternal Strands GOG Release Date: When is it coming out?
As of now, Eternal Strands is not available on GOG and it seems it will stay the same for at least a few good months. Back in May 2024, a player asked a similar question regarding the game’s full-release availability on GOG. In response to this query, one of the game developers said the following:
Hello! While we can’t provide full confirmation yet, we are in discussions with the team to see what is feasible. 😊💛 Stay tuned
From this, it is pretty clear that the developers haven’t given up on the thought of releasing the game on GOG. They are discussing the possibility of this move, which is why they can’t provide any confirmation on the same. Mind you, this was back in May 2024. In addition to this response, the developer also shared the following in September 2024:
On our end, it likely will be post-launch, but it’s still definitely on our radar! 😊💛
So, it seems that they are eyeing to release the game on GOG post its full release. Well, fast forward to 2025; after the game’s release, there hasn’t been any information on this matter yet. But based on the developer comments, we think a GOG release is on the horizon. If that happens, the expected release date should be sometime after March 2025. This is just a speculation from our side, which is why we recommend that you take this information with a pinch of salt.
