11 classic Lego games have joined the GOG Preservation Program
The program is a commitment from GOG to ensure each game remains playable on modern PCs
GOG has added 11 classic Lego games to its ever-growing Preservation Program.
The GOG Preservation Program is a venture announced last November which is designed to ensure that classic games remain playable on modern PCs forever, even after their developers have stopped supporting them.
Today, seven classic Lego games already on GOG have been added to the Preservation Program, along with four more Lego games which are also being added to the store today for the first time.
The full list of games added to the Preservation Program is as follows:
- Lego Batman: The Video Game
- Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes
- Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham
- Lego City Undercover (new to GOG)
- Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures
- Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues
- The Lego Movie Video Game (new to GOG)
- The Lego Movie 2 Video Game (new to GOG)
- The Lego Ninjago Video Game (new to GOG)
- Lego Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game
- Lego The Lord of the Rings
Games included in the Preservation Program are identified with a dedicated stamp on the GOG store, and players can see how GOG has worked to update each title by looking at its Preservation Log.
For example, the first Lego Batman game was originally released in 2008, meaning it may not necessarily work well 17 years later on today’s PCs.
Rather than simply dumping the 2008 PC version on its site and leaving it to players to get it working on their system, however, GOG’s version has been tweaked to ensure it’s compatible with Windows 10 and 11 PCs, running at a default 1080p resolution with V-Sync enabled and a locked 60Hz frame rate.
Each of the Lego games is currently on sale to celebrate their addition to the GOG Preservation Program, with discounts of 75%-85% depending on the title.
The addition of the Lego titles brings the total number of games in GOG’s Preservation Program to 115. The retailer plans to hit 500 games by the end of 2025, and eventually add its entire catalogue of thousands of PC games.
