Blizzard games have been a staple in the gaming community for years, with popular titles like World of Warcraft, Overwatch, and Diablo III. However, these games can take up a significant amount of space on your computer’s hard drive. If you find yourself running out of storage, it may be time to move your Blizzard games to another drive in Windows 10 or 11. Here’s how to do it.

Step 1: Locate the Blizzard game folder on your computer

First, locate the folder where your Blizzard games are currently installed. The default location for Blizzard games is usually in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Blizzard folder, but it can vary depending on where you installed the game. Once you’ve located the folder, make a note of it or keep the folder open for reference.

Step 2: Create a new folder on the drive you want to move the game to

Before you move the Blizzard game folder, you’ll need to create a new folder on the drive you want to move the game to. To do this, go to the drive where you want to move the game (e.g. D:\), right-click anywhere on the drive, select New, and then select Folder. Name the folder something simple like “Blizzard Games” so you can easily find it later.

Step 3: Copy the Blizzard game folder to the new drive

Next, you’ll need to copy the entire Blizzard game folder to the new drive. To do this, go back to the original Blizzard game folder, right-click it, select Copy, and then go to the new drive where you want to move the game. Right-click the new Blizzard Games folder you just created, select Paste, and wait for the files to transfer.

Step 4: Remap the game to the new drive in the Blizzard app

Once the files have finished copying to the new drive, you’ll need to open the Blizzard app and remap the game to the new drive. To do this, open the Blizzard app, select the game you just moved, and click on Options. From there, select Game Settings and then click on Game Install/Update. Under Game Install/Update, click on the drop-down menu labeled “Game Install Location” and select the new drive where you just copied the game files to. Click on Save Changes to apply the new location.

Step 5: Verify the game files and start playing

Now that you’ve moved the Blizzard game to a new drive and remapped it in the Blizzard app, you’ll need to verify the game files to ensure everything transferred correctly. To do this, click on the Options button again and select Scan and Repair. This will verify that all files are in the correct location and that the game is ready to play.

Moving Blizzard games to a new drive in Windows 10 or 11 can be a bit time-consuming, but it’s a great way to free up space on your primary hard drive. With just a few simple steps, you can relocate your Blizzard games to another drive and keep playing without any storage issues.
