Use the GOG GALAXY library
Open GOG GALAXY, select your game and check its playtime and statistics. GALAXY also supports library organization and connected-platform statistics; what is available depends on the game and integration.
Track a GOG game with or without GALAXY
- Leave PlayCounter running.
- Start your GOG game from GALAXY, a desktop shortcut or the installed executable.
- Confirm the game in Now Playing.
- Close it when finished and find the session in My History.
For an unrecognized older game, use Discovered to assign the process a local game entry. Match the game rather than a setup program or launcher.
GOG games packaged with DOSBox
Some DOS releases run through a bundled DOSBox copy. PlayCounter has dedicated DOSBox game detection, so a recognizable title can get its own sessions instead of sharing one generic emulator total. Check the emulator guide if a game needs review.
Earlier hours remain a separate source
PlayCounter currently has no historical GOG importer. It records new sessions while running, and you can manually adjust a total if you want to include older time. GALAXY’s existing statistics remain available in GALAXY.
