How to Download SoF2 Gold Edition
The best and easiest way to play Soldier of Fortune 2: Double Helix – Gold Edition in 2025 is to purchase a downloadable copy from GOG.com.
This is how many old players who no longer have their discs have returned to the game once more.
We do not endorse or support pirated copies. While unofficial versions exist online, this is something we are not affiliated with so please do not ask us for links.
Buy original copy of SoF2
There are still many original disc versions of the game available to by from Ebay or Amazon for just a few dollars, this is probably the best route to ensure you don’t share a CDKEY with someone else.
How to see the server list
