Bazzite by default does not use swap. how have you arrived to this decision?

zram is enabled by default meaning RAM is being compressed to act as swap you can change your zram allocation by editing /etc/systemd/zram-generator.conf to include zram-size=min(ram, 16384) e.g.,
compression-algorithm=zstd
zram-size=min(ram, 16384)
compression-algorithm=zstd
zram-size=min(ram, 16384)
I guess the better question would be is how much physical RAM do you have?

already done and it's not enough i set zram to full ram, and once loading of the game it 12gb it's just shut down

did you reboot after making that change? also run zramctl to confirm the change

good luck with performance when it hits the SSD. your better option is to buy more RAM than to rely on swap swap performance on SSD is bad compared to RAM
