Display-Off Downloads

[p][/p][p]Today we are adding a new feature to Steam Deck, enabling it to complete all active downloads in a new display-off low-power mode, before going to sleep. This feature is enabled by default when Steam Deck is plugged in to power, and can also be enabled on battery power in Settings > Power. [/p][p]Display-off downloads are accessible in two ways. While Steam Deck is downloading content, pressing the power button now brings up a new dialog, asking whether you'd like to continue downloading with the screen off. Select Continue, and Steam Deck will go into the new low-power download mode. In addition, Steam Deck will automatically go into this mode after an idle timeout.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]While in this mode, if you press a button or move Steam Deck, a new status screen will be shown with download progress (see above). From here you can fully wake Steam Deck or let it continue downloading with the screen off. [/p][p]When this feature is active on battery power, Steam Deck will automatically go to full sleep mode if the battery level falls below 20%.[/p][p]This feature is now available on Steam Deck in the Beta and Preview channels. Let us know what you think in the comments.[/p]
