How to Install Steam Games on SD Card –Install Steam External Hard Drive

If you play Steam on your laptop, at some point, you might need more space to download more games, especially if you have a laptop with a small hard drive. My Acer Switch 10 only has 32GB of built-in memory which is really easy to fill up. But I can use a SD card to install and play my games on. And with any game installed, all in-app purchases or DLCs will also be saved to the SD card.

Once the game is downloaded, you can start playing your game knowing that you aren’t filling up your main hard drive anymore! One last thing, game performance may vary depending on the configuration of your computer but you can easily try it out if you have an extra SD card lying around.

I hope you enjoyed this video and if you did please give me a thumbs up and don’t forget to subscribe to my channel TheRenderQ for more how-to videos and product reviews.

So glad I found your video got a new computer and it told me I didn’t have enough space to play my favorite game so I was a little let down but your video gave me hope and it all worked! Thank you so much

Thank you!!! Using this for the Steam Deck and I was worried it wouldn’t work with Windows on Deck!!

Awesome still works to this day! Wanted to use my 512GB SD card on my GPD Win 3!

[jackthompson]

[classifiedhomosapien]

Thanks. The process slightly changed within Steam, but it is the same.

So I got steam on my chromebook and when I click add library folder I don’t get the option to select the drive my SD card is in.

Thank you so much. I don’t know where to start I watched over 20 videos and I’m not lying either. I came across this and it worked thank you so much man

100% saved me from buying another cheap computer now I can move all my stuff to the external SD and have a little bit better performance

[dannybrady]

when i click add library folder theres no dropdown menu to choose my sd card

[jamesbryan]

For me, it didn't let me see the folder that it would install in, it didn't seem to really register it.

thanks man this really helped. my computer was low on memory and i wanted to install more games i had on my account so i got an sd card but had no idea how to put my games on there.

[reddyman]

but if you play a game installed on the microSD on the PC, isn't there a risk that the SD itself will merge?

[jimpson]

I did this, but when I tried to install a game it said that I had 0 bytes available even though I haven’t used card yet

[AndresPerez-bicd]

I was trying this for over 2 weeks watching ur video got it in seconds

[reidgamer]

FYI with the new UI you need to go to storage and it’s under that tab now

[brynnakabryan]

Omg TYSM i spend So much money on steam games, like the isle, and had no room to down load them. So then i went out and bought a 30 dollar Sd card and had no idea how to use it lol. This video helped me ALOT. Tysm!! 😄

[ItsEasty]

This is straight to the point, and very helpful!

[alexbedini]

Thanks for the video, what kind of SD card are you using because i tried the same thing on a Samsung EVO class10 128GB and the download of the game on that SD card was extremely slow!
