How to Install Games on Steam Deck SD Card
Installing games on your Steam Deck's SD card is pretty straightforward. First, make sure to format your SD card as 'exFAT' so the Steam Deck can read it properly. Then, head over to your Steam Deck's settings, find the 'Storage' section, and you'll see an option to manage Steam library folders. Here, you can add a new library on your SD card. When you're downloading games, Steam will ask where you want to save them - just choose your new SD library. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!
