And if you are one of those people who like everything to be controlled and organized on your hard drives, we are going to walk you through how it is done from this client. We have to do this through uPlay, Ubisoft's official client for its PC games. If you move the folder, the shortcut’s location won’t change with it.Whether we have purchased a physical game for PC, or have purchased it from the Ubisoft store via the Internet, in order to play it is necessary to download and install the game on our computer. So, you basically you need to tell it where to look, so that the launcher can validate if all of the files are there, and that none of them are corrupted.Įven if you don’t launch the game from Uplay or Steam let’s say, you are probably launching it from a shortcut. When you move the whole game installation folder, the launcher for the game, which is Uplay in this case, looks at the old location and it sees that that folder has disappeared.Īfter not finding the game folder, the launcher doesn’t continue to search your whole PC. Let me clarify why you need to transfer games like this. Put the folder in the Uplay installation folder, i.e.After that, transfer the file to your new PC.Insert a USB drive or any other drive to your PC and put the folder there.

Now, on your old computer, go to the Ubisoft install location.Install the software and then restart your system.On your other PC, install the latest Uplay launcher.Now, let’s get into how you can transfer a Uplay game to another PC, or transfer you whole Uplay library: After that it should say that all files have been validated successfully. Locate the game to the location you moved it.Under the download button, there will be “Locate Installed Game”, click it.Paste the copied folder to the location you want and open Uplay.Copy the whole folder and rename the old one to anything you want, just make sure it’s different than before.
