If you install third party digital lockers like EA App, Battle.net, GOG, Ubisoft, et al - then you probably just installed games from them directly into the locker's proton prefix.

This leaves your games vulnerable if you ever have to uninstall/reinstall/fix that launcher.

In this tutorial, we'll show you how to centralize all your third party locker games in WHATEVER FOLDER YOU WANT - even external storage or the microSD card.

Save space, protect your installs - quick and easy. We'll show you how.
