I am bored af here, and so desperate to play gta online , but the pc in this house ( grandma ) is almost full.. which means no more space for gtav, now what I'm asking, is can i play gta v ""directly"" from my hard drive, without copying it or installing it in the pc??
No problems with graphics thing.. just really full on space and cant delete files ... as they were not mine so,

Can i play steam games directly from the external hard drive w/o installing or copying the game to the pc..

Thanks.

You can google it. I found those via google.
I wouldn´t do this for GTA V, loading times are going to be crazy...

from those links:
Steam allows you to add a library to any drive connected to the system(Steam -> Settings -> Downloads -> Steam Library Folders). You may even be able to just move some games over to that folder after it is made, but I have not personally tried that way. You can do a backup and restore of games with the backup game files feature in steam(then remove local content and reinstall the game on the other drive).
