Restoring the games is also easy: first, copy the game folders from your backup location back into the Steam/steamapps/common directory you found in Step One. Compared to almost 80 gigabytes for DOOM, it’s a great saving in both time and bandwidth. If your game sits in your backup folder for more than a few months, you’ll probably have to download an update to it…but that’s a few hundred megabytes at most, perhaps a gigabyte or two.
Now, right-click and uninstall the game in Steam to remove it from your primary drive. I keep a dedicated game partition on my external backup drive, just so I don’t have to re-download 30 gigabytes of data every time I want to play Team Fortress 2. Ideally, you want them to be on another storage drive, either internal or external, because having two copies of the same game on a single drive isn’t particularly useful. To back up the games in the Steam common folder, just copy and paste them into another folder. Remember, if you’ve set a custom game folder in Steam, your games will be installed elsewhere. Most of them share the same name as their respective game, but some use alternate titles or abbreviations-for example, Age of Empires II HD Edition is shortened to “Age2HD.”
Well, it’s available now! So come watch us play the first 90 minutes or so of Dishonored 2 and enjoy the escapism of a dystopian setting and political intrigue.This folder is divided into sub-folders, one for each game installed under Steam’s master game list. While Bethesda didn’t send out review copies of Dishonored 2 early enough to have a review ready on release day - this is the publisher’s new practice, it says - it did send us a copy a day early, with the caveat we couldn’t cover it until “the game was available.” We’ve gone ahead and done just that and will be streaming the game at the top of this post.

Dishonored 2 won’t unlock on Steam until Friday afternoon, but if you pre-purchase it you get it a day earlier and, thanks to the magic of time zones, if you’re using Steam servers in Australia, New Zealand or Asia.
