You actually can't format SD cards in the Steam Deck itself. You've gotta use a PC or another device to get it formatted to FAT32 or exFAT. Then, just slide it into your Steam Deck and you're good to go. It's a bit of extra work, but worth it for that sweet, sweet extra storage.
Careful with the card format. FAT32 for compatibility, but exFAT is better for larger files. Choose wisely based on your game sizes.
No need to format, I just popped mine in and it worked. Sometimes, it's plug and play, baby!
