Data drive swap between PCs: Could I keep my data?

So I'm moving my older PC into my living room to work primarily as a VR PC, however I've got 2 SSDs, 2 HDDs and 1 nvme drive full of my Steam, Origin, Epic, Uplay and GOG games. None of these are my boot drive (they're all data drives for my game library) only 2 of them will remain in my older computer. I planned on simply swapping them to my new PC w/o doing any sort of wipe. I know not doing that on a boot drive is a no-no esp.if we're talking switching from Intel to AMD, but I've never found anything about drives used strictly to store games and apps from another computer.

 

Am I going to have to wipe about 8TB worth of games or can I just swap them into my new PC w/o issue?
