Where Does Legendary Store Config and Games?
Legendary config directory on Linux with user data, manifests and installed games list.
Last updated
Legendary, the open Epic Games CLI, keeps login tokens, installed-game manifests and config in its XDG config directory. Games themselves install wherever you pointed them, defaulting under ~/Games.
Tokens grant store access, so the folder needs strict permissions. Copy it to move login plus install records, then verify paths still resolve.
Where Legendary stores this, by platform
~/.config/legendary
Holds user.json with login tokens, installed.json tracking game paths, and config.ini for defaults. Games default under ~/Games unless installed elsewhere. Copy with no downloads running and re-login if tokens expire.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move Legendary games to a new drive?
Move the game folders, then update paths with the move command or edit installed.json above. Verify files afterward so manifests match.
Where are Legendary login tokens?
In user.json inside the folder above. Delete it to sign out fully before handing a machine to someone else.
