Can I Transfer Steam Games to Another PC

Question

Hello! I am building a new PC for a better gaming experience, but I'm trying to figure out if I can move my games from my old PC to an SSD installed on my new PC. Can I transfer Steam games to another PC and play them without reinstallation? Appreciate for any reply!

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can transfer Steam games to another PC and enjoy them without reinstalling anything by performing Steam's Backup and Restore feature or using the professional application migration tool.To help users transfer games to a new drive or PC, Steam offers a Backup and Restore feature that allows users to create a backup for the wanted games and restore them on the new device.If you don't know how to perform this, check the steps below:Step 1. Log in to your Steam and click Steam on the upper left corner of the window. Then, select Backup and Restore Games...Step 2. Click Backup Games and select the target games. Then, select a location to save the backup files. Click Backup and patiently wait for the process to complete.Step 3. Then, move the backup file to the external SSD, remove the SSD, and connect it to your new PC.Step 4. In your new PC, install and log in to your Steam. Go to Steam > Backup and Restore Games… and hit Restore a previous backup.Step 5. Select the backup file you put on the SSD and then click Restore to recover games on your new PC.However, this method could be time-consuming since it goes through both backup and restore processes, not to mention if you plan to transfer multiple games that contain large files. Thus, I want to recommend a faster and easier way for you.EaseUS Todo PCTrans Professional is a reliable application transfer tool that allows you to transfer Steam and all your games from PC to PC without the need to move SSD or go through the backup and restore process.

Install and open EaseUS Todo PCTrans on both computers.Step 2. Go to the PC to PC tab, and determine the transfer direction by selecting This is Old PC or This is New PC on both PCs.Step 3. Input the password or verification code to connect the two PCs on the same network.Step 4. Go to Applications and select Steam and games you want to transfer. Then, hit Transfer to start the process.Related article: Transfer Steam Games to New Computer [100% Working]
