I'm not sure how you expect this to work. I assume you have another
monitor connected to the nvidia card. But if you're running steam from
your regular desktop, the games are going to use the current display
which is your Intel one. If you can get your desktop to display across
both video cards, then you could probably run steam on the display you
want, but I don't know if that configuration is even supported by Xorg
or Wayland.
I wanted to add on top of this, it's more like the old multihead setup's. That nothing supports anymore.
Along with the Wayland vs Xorg pain.
Generally, when you plug in an external gpu, the igpu is disabled. That's the simplest way around all this.
