Need to help Origin find where one of your game’s files are located on your computer? You can tell Origin where to look so you don’t have to download all the files again. Please note that some third-party games cannot be moved in this way. You can also only move games on PC, as this feature is not available on Mac. You’ll have to manually locate the game on your computer using our steps to show Origin where the game is before you can try moving it again. If Origin goes offline while a game is moving, the move will fail.
Make sure to stay online while you’re moving games. the game is not currently in queue for download. You’ll only be able to move games in this way if: This might take some a little bit of time to do, but once it’s done you’ll be ready to play. The game will then repair itself and make sure all files were moved over correctly. 
The game files will all automatically move to the new folder you’ve just selected.
There are some restrictions to which folders you can use, but Origin will let you know if you can’t use the one you pick. Find the new folder where you want to move the game to. Right-click the game tile and select Move game. Find the game you want to move in your Game Library. To move your game files to a new place on your PC: Moving more than one at the same time can cause issues. When you’re moving games, only do one at a time. If you got a new computer or operating system, you can easily move your games from one location to another on your computer so you don’t have to redownload them. (But, firstly, it's not an easy control to train into muscle memory, and secondly, the Steam client isn't a well-behaved Windows application, so things like the usual keyboard navigation doesn't work, grrr!).The Move / Locate game feature was added in the client update I used that technique before, but now that I want some Steam "apps" (non-games such as DisplayFusion, which runs at Windows start) on my SSD and the rest (games) on my multi-terabyte HDD, it's not so convenient.Īfter selecting my secondary library location from that damn drop-down box hundreds of times, I'm getting used to it. Windows has symbolic links too (mklink /d is useful here, though you need to open an admin shell to use it, and the order of operands is the reverse of ln -s). 
On Windows though it sucks and pisses me of every time, when I have to exit big picture mode once again, just to be able to select the correct library (I never use the default one) (in a similar way it's also possible to just keep the installed games on a big external partition and the meta files on a SSD for example)
steam folder to the partition of choice, then (in your home folder) create a symbolic link "ln -s /my/mounted/drive/.steam. Originally posted by superpete:On linux though it's easy to change this, just move the whole.
