Short answer, yes. But remember to close stuff first unless you want to risk game data corruption. It's like changing cartridges on a retro game console, but for the digital age.

Tried it, works like a charm. Just make sure the games on the card you're pulling out aren't running. Plus, it feels a bit like magic, swapping entire game libraries with just a card swap!

Absolutely, you can hot swap SD cards on your Steam Deck! No need to power down, just make sure you've closed any games or apps running from the SD card you're swapping out. Makes it super easy to switch between your game libraries on the go!

Nah, don't bother hot swapping. Just get a huge SD card and stick with it. Why complicate things?
