Steam Mover: Move Steam Games Between Drives or Folders

A free, open-source tool to move Steam games between drives or folders without re-download, automatically updating Steam library folders

What is Steam Mover?

Steam Mover is a free, open-source tool developed by Tim Lawrence that enables users to move Steam games between drives or folders without having to re-download them. It works by updating the Steam library folders to point to the new location after moving the game files.

This is useful for situations where you want to save hard drive space by moving less played games to a secondary drive, upgrade to an SSD by moving games over, or organize your Steam library by moving games between custom Steam library folders.

Without a tool like Steam Mover, if you manually move Steam game folders, Steam will think they are missing or uninstalled. Steam Mover automatically updates the Steam internal database with the new file path so it will continue to work as if they are still installed.

As an open-source tool, Steam Mover is continually updated and maintained by its developer and contributors on GitHub. It has a simple and easy to use interface where you pick the game you want to move, select the new install location, and Steam Mover handles moving the files safely and updating the Steam database.
