    Transferring games across PCs? Need support


    Many internet plans have a data cap, making it basically unfeasible to download a big game like Avowed or Starfield on more than 1 device. For example, if I want to play on my desktop PC, and then if I go on a trip/vacation playing it on my laptop... I'd need to download the game twice, so 150+gb for 1 game. Well, I thought maybe I'll just copy the game files from 1 pc to another. Didn't work. It deleted the whole folder I copied over, and didn't seem to work at all. How do we handle this?

    :)

    Hey - not sure what you mean? Is there a way like Steam has to backup a game and then add it to a new pc? I'm trying to make a carbon copy of the game not necessarily move it and delete the old copy.

    Can I Put a Installed Game From Xbox One On a 62GB SanDisk Hard Drive Such as Minecraft or another Game?

    The game files are different from Xbox to PC so you cannot transfer games across platforms.

    Xbox games to pc

    You can't transfer the games themselves across, no. If any of them are Play Anywhere games, then you can download and install the PC version for free...any others and you will need to purchase them again. As to the game saves, a lot of games have cross-platform saves so it may be possible to continue your progress on the PC version
