===Version differences===

{{ii}} The GOG.com version lacks the last two patches released on Steam. A "parity patch" mod is [https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma/mods/685 available on Nexus Mods], though it may not fix all of the bugs.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://www.gog.com/forum/dragons_dogma_dark_arisen/possibly_made_a_patch_to_make_gog_steam_seems_to_work/post20|title=Possibly made a patch to make GOG = Steam, seems to work? - Post 20|date=2022-06-10}}</ref> The online pawn system is bugged and players may not receive their rewards.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://www.gog.com/forum/dragons_dogma_dark_arisen/return_of_the_pawn_rental_bug/page1|title=Return of the Pawn Rental Bug?|date=2022-06-10}}</ref>

Version differences

The GOG.com version lacks the last two patches released on Steam. A "parity patch" mod is available on Nexus Mods, though it may not fix all of the bugs.[1] The online pawn system is bugged and players may not receive their rewards.[2]
The GOG.com and Steam versions have separate servers for online features (the Pawn system and Ur Dragon).[3]
