I figured it had to be something like 4k texture packs. I have a Steam Deck and don't generally play anything at high res even when connected to a monitor. There ought to be a way to say hey limit the install to the res I'll actually be using?

    Far from standard, but some games on Steam offer their HD textures as a free DLC. Then you could choose not to install it. Way back when games still came on disks and DRM wasn't so invasive you could also mod games and replace the HD textures with lower res, but I don't think that is possible with today's game engines. If it weren't outright an option during the installation.
