Where does the xbox app install games?

I've recently changed my SSD (C drive) to a larger one and am moving all my games and apps over to the new one however, i cant seem to find Sea of Thieves which was downloaded in my HDD somewhere (E drive) . I've looked in windows apps folder but its completely empty and cannot find it whatsoever Any help would be appreciated

Hi Jame5E,

By default, it will install to C:\XboxGames if you have more than one drive in your pc you will get the option to choose a different drive when installing a new game.

You can also move an already installed game to a different drive with the 'Manage Installs' option

go to My Library

then top right select 'Manage Installs'

select 'Manage' on the game

Image

select the files tab to find the change drive option

It's also possible to change the default location in Profile/settings/general
