Nox from Westwood Studios and EA is now included in the GOG Preservation Program

by Mikhail Madnani on 10 September, 2026

EA and Westwood Studios' action RPG Nox has been added to the GOG Preservation Program today.

GOG has updated Nox today with version 1.2 bringing in a custom widescreen resolution, verified Windows 10 and Windows 11 compatibility, and much more. Nox is also discounted and down to $1.39 for a limited time on GOG. If you haven't done so, read my interview with GOG about game preservation, one-click mods, and much more.

You can find the full patch notes via GOG below:
