Method 1: Automatically Move a Uplay Game

If you don't want to move each Uplay game manually or reinstall all your games, the fastest and easiest way to transfer Ubisoft games to another HDD/SSD is by using a dedicated tool like Todo PCTrans Professional.

With the powerful App Migration feature of Todo PCTrans, you can move your Ubisoft Connect PC and all Uplay games to a new hard drive. This transfer will also include all associated data and user account settings.

Check out the tutorial on how to easily move your Uplay games to another drive.

Step 1: Connect the target drive to your computer

Where do you want to move the game? Connect the hard drive to the PC with Todo PCTrans using the appropriate cable. Run the game transfer software, select “App Migration,” and click “Start.”

Step 2: Select the game you want to change the location for.

On the left pane, select the original drive where the game was installed. Find the game and check the box next to it. Click on the triangle icon to choose the target drive as the file path. When done, click “Transfer.”

Step 3: Move the game to the target drive

Method 2: Move a Uplay Game Manually

The other option is to manually move your Uplay games to another drive. You don't need to download any additional software, but the process can be a bit convoluted and time-consuming. We'll walk you through it.

Now, follow the steps right here to get started:

Step 1. Open Ubisoft Connect.

Step 2. Click on your game under the Games section.

Step 3. Select "Properties." Then, click "Open File Location."

(Uplay default games location: C:/Program Files (x86)/Ubisoft/Ubisoft Game Launcher/games/)

Step 2: Copy the entire game folder to the destination location.

Step 3. Right-click the Ubisoft Connect icon in the bottom right corner, then select Quit.

Step 4. Delete the original game folder. Restart Ubisoft Connect.

Step 5: In the "Games" section, find the game you want, and you'll see that the "Play" button now says "Download."

Step 6: Click "Browse for the installation folder," then select the new game folder. Click "OK" to validate the game files. This may take a while, depending on the size of the game files.

Step 7. Once this is done, you should see the Play button back. You can now enjoy your game from the other drive.

However, if an individual game file is too large or you need to transfer multiple games, the manual method can be very time-consuming, taking tens of minutes or even hours, and incorrect operation can easily lead to data loss. Therefore, it's recommended to use a tool like Todo PCTrans for a simpler, faster, and safer process.
