If you really needed this you knew about it. This new feature seems to just save a few clicks and the need for a shared drive &amp;#x2F; flash drive.&lt;p&gt;It still doesn&amp;#x27;t help me with games releasing a 20 GB patch every 7 days unfortunately.</text></comment>

I have a gaming PC filled with games and a Steam Deck with some games. Some of the things I want to play on the Steam Deck I&amp;#x27;ve yet to play just because the download would take forever (intermittent internet access combined with horrible latency and terrible bandwidth). Really happy about this feature.</text></comment>
