It’s easy to find information online suggesting games that don’t suck down the battery too fast. But it’s not as easy going the other way.

I ended up with a spare 512gb card, so I’ve popped it in my hub/dock to add on games that I’ll only play when docked.

I’ve got Cyberpunk and Elden Ring on it. When I played those I lost about 30% battery in <20 minutes. But they performed fine.

Looking for more suggestions like this, so I can build myself a database of games to pop on this card.

Yakuza 4 (maybe 3?) for some fucking reason. Yakuza 6 is better on the battery.

Some of the Yakuza games seem to benefit a lot from a TDP limit. Seems like you can restrict the power usage quite a bit without any decrease in performance.

Sounds good. I got that series a few years ago and have never played it yet.
