Where Are Epic Games Store Games Installed?
Epic Games Store default install folder on Windows and how to confirm the real location per game.
Last updated
Epic installs games to C:\Program Files\Epic Games by default, one subfolder per game. Custom locations chosen at install time override this silently.
Because the default is just a default, the reliable check is per game through the launcher. The manifest files in ProgramData track where everything actually went.
Where Epic Games Store stores this, by platform
C:\Program Files\Epic Games\[Game Name]
One subfolder per game plus .egstore marker files. Needs administrator rights to browse. Per-game overrides live wherever you chose at install; verify with Library > Manage in the launcher.
Frequently asked questions
How do I find where a specific Epic game installed?
Open the Epic launcher Library, click the three dots on the game, choose Manage, then the folder icon. That opens the true install folder regardless of defaults.
How do I move an Epic game to another drive?
Copy the game folder to the new location, uninstall in the launcher (which removes the old files), reinstall pointed at the new location, pause immediately, copy your files over the fresh stub, then resume so the launcher verifies instead of redownloading.
