Just launch the game, go into the settings, and look for the 'Display' or 'Video' options. Most modern games let you choose which monitor to use directly from there. No fuss, no muss.

Honestly, just window mode it and drag it across. Sure, not the most elegant solution, but it works every time.

Drag it? Please. Just use your graphics card's control panel. Nvidia and AMD both have options to choose the preferred monitor for games. It's like two clicks away.

Easiest way? Right-click your desktop, go to 'Display Settings', and make sure your second monitor is set as the 'Main Display'. Most games will automatically launch on the main display. If the game's already running, try hitting Alt + Enter to switch it between windowed and fullscreen modes, then drag it over!

Uh, why bother? Just play on your primary monitor like a normal person.
