Making it easier than ever to backup your DRM-free downloads and make them look cool - the GOG Preservation Program has expanded with some fun stuff.

In a press release they noted "Star Trek: 25th Anniversary and Armikrog are the two newest additions to the GOG Preservation Program. They’re joined by three games already maintained by the program — Descent, Hitman: Codename 47, and Myst — all five of which are part of this wave together — and this time, we’re preserving more than just the code".

So what are they bringing on? Starting with those games noted above they're providing an interactive 3D scan of its real, physical box art. They also announced a collaboration with Big Box Collection - a solo passion project dedicated to preserving things like box art and so now GOG will also provide flat printable versions of the same box art so you can print it out and make your own boxes. GOG also did an interview with the creator of the Big Box Collection.

Pretty cool to see, GOG are doing more to make their store stand out against the likes of Steam, Epic and others.

Now we just need GOG to deliver on their promise of GOG Galaxy for Linux which they confirmed to GamingOnLinux recently.
