This plugin imports supported Rockstar Games titles into GOG Galaxy 2.1+ 64-bit. Based on the original community integration, it has been updated for the current GOG Galaxy client and Python 3.13, with achievements, improved game detection, and local playtime tracking.
- Imports supported Rockstar-owned games into GOG Galaxy
- Imports unlocked Rockstar achievements
- Detects locally installed Rockstar games
- Installs, launches, and uninstalls games through Rockstar Games Launcher
- Tracks game time locally and preserves it between sessions
- Supports Rockstar Social Club web authentication
- Detects installed Steam and Epic versions of supported Rockstar games
- Includes optional Steam library fallback detection
Use the melcom GOG Galaxy Plugin Updater to install or update the integration automatically.
- Download and extract the Plugin Updater.
- Double-click
update-plugins.bat. - Select your preferred language.
- Follow the displayed instructions.
- Close GOG Galaxy completely, including the system tray application.
- Download the latest release package from this repository.
- Extract the ZIP archive directly into:
%localappdata%\GOG.com\Galaxy\plugins\installed\
The release ZIP already contains the required plugin folder. The resulting directory structure must look like this:
%localappdata%\GOG.com\Galaxy\plugins\installed\
└── rockstar_774732b5-69c4-405c-b6c9-92cd55740cfe\
├── manifest.json
├── plugin.py
├── README.md
└── ...
Next step: Continue with First Start and Initial Sync below.
Important
Do not place backup copies of this plugin inside the plugins\installed directory. GOG Galaxy scans every folder inside this directory during startup, so duplicate plugin folders can cause GUID conflicts or load an outdated version.
For the first synchronization after installing or updating the plugin:
- Start Rockstar Games Launcher and keep it open.
- Start GOG Galaxy.
- Connect the Rockstar Games integration through Settings -> Integrations if necessary.
- Complete the Rockstar Social Club login when prompted.
- Open the account menu in the top-right corner and select Sync integrations.
- Wait until the synchronization has finished.
On Windows, the plugin determines Rockstar-owned games primarily from Rockstar Games Launcher logs and confirmed local installation data. Rockstar titles associated with Steam or Epic Games are shown only when they are installed. This prevents locally detected third-party versions from being treated as permanently owned Rockstar copies.
The original plugin also used an undocumented Social Club web request to retrieve previously played games. This legacy request is disabled by default because the current Rockstar sign-in flow no longer refreshes the required browser session reliably. Disabling it does not affect normal login, local game detection, launching, achievements, or local playtime tracking.
The plugin includes default_config.cfg with all available settings and their default values. To change a setting, copy this file to the plugin root, rename the copy to config.cfg, and edit only that copy. Do not edit or delete default_config.cfg.
enable_steam_fallback=True is enabled by default. It searches configured Steam library folders for supported Rockstar games that were not found through the standard Windows uninstall registry. Set the value to False only if you want to disable Steam-based detection completely.
enable_legacy_online_game_scraper=False should remain disabled during normal use. Setting it to True temporarily restores the undocumented Social Club played-games request for advanced diagnostics. If the request fails, the plugin disables it for the remainder of the session to prevent repeated authentication delays.
The plugin can retrieve Rockstar Social Club friend data, but GOG Galaxy does not currently display Rockstar friends reliably in its interface. This limitation does not affect library synchronization, achievements, game launching, installation detection, or playtime tracking.
Reset the local plugin database if synchronization problems continue after restarting both applications.
-
Close GOG Galaxy completely.
-
Open
C:\ProgramData\GOG.com\Galaxy\storage\plugins\. -
Find every file starting with
rockstar_and ending in-storage.db. -
Rename each matching file by appending
.old, for example:rockstar_xxxxxxxxx-storage.db->rockstar_xxxxxxxxx-storage.db.old -
Start Rockstar Games Launcher and keep it open.
-
Start GOG Galaxy, reconnect the integration if necessary, select Sync integrations from the account menu, and wait for synchronization to finish.
If the database reset above does not resolve the problem, create a clean session with fresh diagnostic files before contacting me. The reset procedure preserves the previous database as a .old file; the steps below remove the active database so the issue can be reproduced from a clean state.
-
Close GOG Galaxy completely, including the system tray application.
-
Open the following directory and delete the existing log files:
%ProgramData%\GOG.com\Galaxy\logs -
Open the plugin storage directory:
C:\ProgramData\GOG.com\Galaxy\storage\pluginsDelete only the active Rockstar Games database file starting with
rockstar_and ending in-storage.db. Do not delete database files belonging to other integrations. If you are unsure which file is correct, do not delete anything from this directory. -
Start Rockstar Games Launcher and keep it open. Start GOG Galaxy, reproduce the problem, and then close GOG Galaxy completely so the new log is fully written.
-
Return to the logs directory and locate the newly created Rockstar Games plugin log:
plugin-rockstar-774732b5-69c4-405c-b6c9-92cd55740cfe.log
Send only this log file, not the entire logs folder. Include the exact steps taken, the expected and actual result, and whether the problem can be reproduced.
Without a fresh plugin log and a detailed description, I cannot reliably determine what is causing the problem. Once everything is ready, continue with Support & Feedback for contact options.

Big thanks to MacStew for testing and for tracking down the exact Steam App IDs and folder names for L.A. Noire and Red Dead Redemption 2.
GitHub Issues are intentionally disabled. Health-related limitations prevent me from reliably managing separate issue trackers across all of my plugin repositories.
Before contacting me, follow What to Do If the Plugin Has Problems and prepare a fresh Rockstar Games plugin log with a detailed description.
