So, you wanna jump from PC to Steam Deck gaming without the hassle of re-downloading? Easy peasy! Just make sure both devices are on the same network. Then, on your Steam Deck, head to the Steam menu, click on 'Settings,' then 'Remote Play' and enable it. Back on your PC, open your Steam client, go to 'Settings,' select 'Remote Play' and click 'Pair Steam Link.' Enter the code displayed on your Steam Deck, and voila! You can now stream and play your games directly. If you're looking for a more physical solution, using an SD card to transfer game files manually is your best bet. Just copy the game files from your PC's Steam library folder to your SD card, then insert it into your Steam Deck and copy the files to its storage. Remember, you might need to locate the game files on your Deck and verify the game files through Steam to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Not into streaming or manual transfers? Just download your games directly on the Steam Deck. With your massive library, why not let the Steam Deck's WiFi do the heavy lifting overnight? It's like waking up to Christmas morning, but with your favorite games ready to play!

Actually, streaming games over a network introduces lag. Just directly download the games you want to play on the Steam Deck. Save yourself the trouble.
