Cloud saves on GOG that exceed the default allocation limit (200 MB per game) will be deleted after August 31, 2024, GOG has warned in a new support page published on its official website that explains why it’s limiting cloud storage. Users have been urged to review their files on the cloud and, if necessary, back up their saves through GOG GALAXY, the official game client.
GOG on why it’s limiting storage:
- “As the size and number of games increase, so does the demand for Cloud Storage.”
- “These limits ensure that all players have access to sufficient and manageable space for their game progress, and that we keep the associated costs under control.”
- “By optimizing our storage allocation, we aim to continue providing a reliable and user-friendly platform for everyone.”

GOG also explained:
After August 31st, 2024, we will begin deleting files from our Cloud Storage service. First and foremost we will delete unnecessary files – things that are not at all related to your game, but have found their way into the Cloud Save folder. Next, we will remove save game files, starting from the oldest and stop when the remaining files fit the allocation limit.
