How to choose folder for Xbox app

Hello Derek Huepenbecker,

Thank you for posting in the Micrsoft Community.

To choose a folder for the Xbox app on your PC, you can follow these steps:



1. Open the Xbox app on your PC.

2. Click on the three horizontal lines in the top-left corner of the app to open the menu.

3. Click on "Settings" in the menu.

4. Click on "System" in the left-hand menu.

5. Under "Storage", click on "Change where new content is saved".

6. Select the drive where you want to install your games.

7. Click on "New apps will save to" and select the folder where you want to install your games.



If you are still having trouble selecting a folder, you may want to try creating a new folder on your C drive specifically for Xbox games and selecting that folder as the installation location.

We're looking forward to hearing from you. If there are any inquiries about our description or if there are any misconceptions, do reply to the post.

Thank you for understanding.

The purpose of taking the folder ownership is that you have full control of the files inside not to move the games out of the windowsapp folder as i mentioned the apps(the games are apps) need to be inside that folder to work, unless that when you select install on the Xbox app you see in the window to choose the installation location that you can install on a different folder location, but often games will have this legend

Go to the system settings and select storage. Then choose the games and apps folder and delete the contents from your device.

Hello Yet, not all Game Pass games allow Mods,

To see if a game is compatible with mods, launch the Xbox for Windows app on your PC, go to the game details page, and look for This game can be modified.

How to access the Mods folder

The mods folder can be accessed when you enable mods. It is necessary to add the mods you downloaded to this folder for them to work with your game. You can also remove mods from the folder (in some cases, you may need to uninstall and reinstall the game to remove a particular mod).

How to access the mods folder:

Launch the Xbox app, then go to the game details page.

Press the More actions button ... and choose Open mods folder.

Important points

Each game you enable will have its own folder mods. Mods will not work with your game if they are added to the incorrect folder.

Some games may have specific instructions on how to set up mods. Check the game developer's website to learn more.
