Thief gets a mini-remaster ahead of its actual Nightdive remaster, courtesy of the GOG Preservation Program

Exciting news: it is officially Garrett summer. Just recently, Nightdive announced it's been cooking a Thief remaster at the PC Gaming Show, bringing modern resolutions, controller support, and myriad other modcons to the venerable 1998 stealth game. But if that's not enough for you—or you just believe the sacred brooks no improvement—the original game is getting some love too: GOG is inducting Thief Gold into its Preservation Program.

The Preservation Program is GOG's name for its expanding roster of games that the storefront is committed to keeping running from here until the heat death of the universe (or a catastrophe of similar scale, like the store going under). From Windows 11 to Windows 8,000, GOG is pledging to sell you a copy of Thief that you can simply boot and play on modern systems, with GOG offering technical support in the event it doesn't work.
