This new imitative is called GOG Connect. While you can permanently import these Steam games, the ability to do so is time-limited, with more becoming available at later dates. For this first batch, you have five days to redeem your copies, though generally the “duration will vary from game to game.”
In most cases, your save files will be compatible across the two platforms, though “Keep in mind that your Steam cloud saves will not be automatically transferred or backed up.”
And, to be clear, not every game that is on Steam and GOG.com will take advantage of Connect. “We can only make a selection of games eligible depending on various agreements with our partners,” reads the site. “You’ll always be able to find an up-to-date list of eligible titles on this page.”
