Storing many Steam Deck games on the device’s internal SSD is easy, but you can quickly run out of space even with a large microSD card as a backup. Fortunately, it seems that a portable gaming PC has a trick to increase its storage capacity with network attached storage (NAS).
This Steam Deck game storage solution was reported by Reddit user Mystic5hadow, who shared an image of his laptop accessing major video games like Grand Theft Auto 5 via NAS.
Mystic5hadow says that they have had “no issues” with the games on their Steam Deck, which are installed on the NAS, “even after a quick resume from a long sleep.” In fact, they go so far as to say that their setup is “actually faster than my microSD for the most part.”
If you want to try this out with your own Steam deck, you can follow Mystic5hadow’s tutorial here. Just keep in mind that your experience may vary based on various performance factors, including the bandwidth of your local network, the speed of your NAS drives, and more.
