Postal III deserves a spot on GOG not just for preservation, but because it has seen a massive community-driven revival thanks to the efforts of Zoom Platform and dedicated fans who’ve taken the broken original and made it playable, stable, and even fun again.

Why It Needs to Be on GOG
GOG is all about giving older and controversial games a second life without DRM and with the love they often didn’t get the first time around. Postal III launched in a messy state in 2011, plagued by bugs, crashes, and missing content. But now, thanks to fan support and Zoom’s efforts, it’s been patched, stabilized, and cleaned up, making it finally playable in a way that lives up to what fans expected back then.
By adding it to GOG, Postal III could reach a wider audience—many of whom are already fans of Postal 1, 2, and Redux, which are already available on the platform. It’s a part of gaming history that deserves to be preserved, flaws and all.

Why It’s a Better Game Now
With unofficial patches and fixes applied, the game now has smoother gameplay, fewer crashes, and a more consistent experience. While it still maintains its dark humor and edgy satire, the new version removes many of the frustrations that once made it infamous.
It may never be perfect, but Postal III today is a fascinating, chaotic piece of gaming culture that’s finally worth playing—and GOG is the best place to keep that spirit alive.
