About data usage
General guidance — not specific to any game
An external source indicates that many online games use approximately between 40 and 300 MB per hour. This range is for guidance only and is not a measurement or an estimate of any particular game. Actual usage may vary with network activity, the game, its version, updates and your connection.
A week away playing three hours a day works out at roughly 1 to 6 GB, depending on the game.
Downloads are what really costs. A current game can exceed 100 GB, and a day-one patch can run past 40 GB. Update your games over Wi-Fi before you travel.

General guidance on voice chat — not specific to any game
An external source indicates that voice chat may add more than 50 MB per hour under certain conditions. This figure is not specific to any game and is not included in the estimates shown on game pages. Actual usage depends on the voice service, its quality, the number of participants and network activity.

Which games last without a plug
Travel Mode looks at the games in your library and tells you which ones run without a permanent connection, and how many hours the battery lasts in each profile.
Once you're in, sync Steam or add your Epic, GOG and Xbox games by hand so it uses your real games.
