Doesn't that game require a massive amount of storage with all the expansions/add-ons installed? Doesn't seem very Deck friendly, IMO. Especially for base model Decks. It's one of the main reasons I don't bother playing BG3 on it, either.

Edit: I just looked and can't get a concise answer, seems like tons of players' install size differs by notable margins. Official site says it needs roughly ~95GB plus another ~30GB during the install process (guessing for temp install files during decompression/compression). Meanwhile, some players report folder sizes ranging from ~97GB all the way up to ~150GB. Regardless, seems ~95GB is the bare minimum which is still a lot for even the 500GB Deck models. And there's no way the game would run comfortably off an SD card.
