Mass Moving Games?

[Jiffypop]

Is there any way to move the install location of many games at once? And by that I mean, queue it up? Currently moving several massive games to a larger and slower hard drive, but instead of being able to queue it up I have to wait for each one to complete individually? Come on.

You can use Steam move feature which is safe option, or manually move game appmanifest & game folder to other drive.

Also not sure how you having trouble moving them, on Steam open settings > storage > Check the boxes for the games you want to move to other drive > Click move > Select the drive want it on, then click move, and let it done it done.

If want to do it manually, you have to figure out the game ID number as that be the appmanifest you need to cut & paste to the other drive, then move game folder, don't do this while steam running, then launch steam, and should detect your games in their new places.

I was doing it the old way of right clicking on the game individually. No idea this existed now. Thanks!

Ah, then yeah this was all changed when they made the new UI changes for the client such as the library, and download page couple years ago.

During the old way, you can select multiple games by clicking on one from the list, then scroll down to last game want to move, hold shift, then click last game this select all the games between the 1st and last click in the list, then can use option to mass move them, another way is if want to deselect a game, or want to just select certain games, had to hold ctrl then click said game, then right click on highlight games then select your option to mass move all your highlight games you selected. The new way is WAY more simple, and easy on people so less chances of misclicking things.

Steam added some QoL features over the years, my fav as of recent is notes for games, can have notes in overlay, can have it show as well while playing without even needing to leave the game at all, really useful, and even support images you copy, and paste right into the notes.

i know this is a few months old thread, but i wish they added a "select all" button - i have well over 250 games i have to tick one by one in the new UI. my hand is hurting
