WWE 2k20 to 2k25 use a cache folder in your C: drive. Now if you have a faster NVME drive for you OS C: drive, you can leave now, this probably wont benefit your time doing.

If your OS drive is a old mechanical drive (160mbs r/w or even early generation SSDs (typically 500mbs r/w) and your game is installed on faster drive than the OS this should increase performance of cutscenes, intros, character creation etc.

1. Head to folder called C:\Users\YOURID\AppData\Local\WWE2k2x\ and you will see a few files and subfolders here as well as a 8GB prebake file that the game auto generates when a match starts or editor suites are run etc.

2. Take a copy of the entire folder and put it somewhere safe in case you need to restore it later, as contains other basic files the game may need, also make a second copy and move to the new destination on faster drive you want the game to now use, in my example this is I:\SteamLibrary\WWE 2K2x\.

3. Delete the original C:\Users\YOURID\AppData\Local\WWE2k2x\ folder, as this will be shortly replaced with a junction link folder shortcut.

4. Run command prompt in admin mode. Using the script below, notice " " around folder names is required.

5. Run this script : noting that the new folder is on my I: drive but it can be any drive except C:, this is just where one of my faster NVME dirves is located with steam games :-

mklink /J "C:\Users\YOURID\AppData\Local\WWE 2K2x" "I:\SteamLibrary\WWE 2K2x"

6. command prompt should report this afterwards :-

Junction created for C:\Users\YOURID\AppData\Local\WWE 2K2x <<===>> I:\SteamLibrary\WWE 2K2x

And that's basically it, if you now look in your C:\Users\YOURID\AppData\Local\ directory it will now show a junction link folder and opening it will direct it straight to the new location and trick the game into thinking its data is still on C:

congrats, it's done and ready to use.

To revert back to original state is straight forward, simply delete the junction link file folder C:\Users\YOURID\AppData\Local\WWE2k2x and move the folder back from whatever drive you moved it too.
