Changing Account Settings

Navigating To Account Settings

  1. Open the GOG Galaxy Client

    • This will bring you to the front of the 'Store' tab. View the tabs at the top.
    • This page will display new deals and packages for purchase. You can return to this page at any time by pressing the 'Store' tab button at the top.
  2. Notice the small circular icon with a dropdown menu arrow to the right of the 'Community' tab. This is your profile button. Hover the mouse cursor over this button and a dropdown menu will appear.

    • The top of the dropdown menu will include 'Activity Feed' and 'Your Profile'. The bottom will be a 'Sign Out' option.
  3. Click on the 'Account Management' button

    • The screen will change to a grey background. You will on a page titled 'Settings'.
    • There will be a noticeable menu sidebar on the page but not within the games list sidebar. This sidebar will detail menus such as 'Orders History' and 'Privacy'.
    • You will land on the 'Account and Locale' page.

Changing Avatar

From the 'Account and Locale' page, the Avatar menu item will have a large button entitled 'change' to the right. This will require a login. Once you log in, a popup screen will appear with your avatar displayed and a faded camera icon overlaid on the image. Click on this camera icon and you will be prompted to browse your file system for a new picture to place as your icon. This picture is required to be a standard image file format such as .jpg or .png, though the system can accept some uncommon file formats.

Changing Email/Password

These features can be accessed from the 'Login and Security' page, found directly below the 'Account and Locale' menu item. Once on this page, the email and password fields will both have large 'change' buttons displayed on the right side of their fields. Click on these buttons and you will be prompted to change the entry. The email simply requires a new email to be entered. Once the email has been changed, a confirmation will be sent as an email to the new address. The password requires you to enter your current password in the 'old password' section. Then you will be required to enter your new desired password once in each of the two remaining fields. Once done, click 'save new password'.
