Games can have different assets downloads for desktop vs Deck, you don't need 4k textures and videos for Deck games.

For FF7 Rebirth, the desktop download is 144GB but the Deck download is a significantly reduced 88GB.

This is nice for the 256GB gang

It was chugging hard on my desktop running rx6600 and I had to set the settings to low to be able to play it. How's it on the deck? Is it playable?

This review by steamdeckHQ has a full section on Deck performance.

TL;DR (AI summary):

Surprisingly playable on the Steam Deck at a mostly stable 30 FPS. However, this comes with significant visual compromises, including dynamic resolution leading to pixelation and blurriness, noticeable ghosting, frequent model pop-ins, and framerate drops in towns. The game also suffers from high battery drain and occasional model glitches. While a significantly better experience is expected on more powerful hardware, the game is still enjoyable on the Steam Deck, albeit with these limitations.
