Hi BabinLeGrand,

Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities.

There isn’t a way to install an Apple Arcade game on an external disk. “Apple Arcade uses iCloud and Game Center for game progress, game saves, and playing with friends on all of your devices that are signed in to iCloud and Game Center with the same Apple ID.” For additional information check out the Apple Support articles Play games with Apple Arcade and Access your Apple Arcade gameplay data on all of your devices.

Have a good day.
