Yeah, you totally can play CS:GO on an external hard drive. Just make sure your external drive is fast enough (think USB 3.0 or newer) to handle the game's load times. Also, keep in mind your computer's specs still play a big role in how well the game runs. So, hook that drive up, install CS:GO, and you're good to go!

Absolutely, playing CS:GO from an external hard drive is no biggie. I've been running it off my SSD external for months without any hiccups. Just ensure your external drive's read/write speeds are up to snuff to avoid any annoying lag or long load times.

No way, too slow. CS:GO demands quick data access that most externals can't provide. Stick to an internal SSD for the best experience.
