How to Move Games to the SD Card on Android (PUBG, Free Fire, Roblox)
On this page (3)
Mobile games are often the largest apps on a phone – several gigabytes each. Whether a game can live on the SD card depends on the game developer and your phone.
Check if the game can be moved
- Open APPtoSD. The list shows which apps and games Android allows to be moved.
- Tap the game. APPtoSD opens its App info page → Storage → Change → SD card.
If there is no Change button, the developer has blocked moving – this is common for big online games such as PUBG Mobile, Free Fire and Roblox.
Why games often stay on the phone
- Fast loading: the internal storage is quicker than most SD cards.
- Anti-cheat and copy protection.
- Since Android 11, apps cannot reach other apps’ game data folders (
Android/data,Android/obb).
What you can do instead
- Move photos, videos and downloads to the SD card to make room for the game.
- Remove downloaded extra content (maps, voice packs) inside the game settings.
- If your phone supports it, format the card as internal storage – then more apps can use it. Use a fast A2 card.
