Valve is bringing a useful replace to the Steam Deck, including an possibility for downloading content material whereas the display is off. The corporate is asking it a display-off low-power mode. Will probably be enabled by default when the Steam Deck is plugged in. The hand held’s energy settings may also permit it to be energetic whereas on battery energy, though it’s going to mechanically revert to full sleep mode if the battery drops under 20 p.c. If a consumer hits the ability button whereas the Steam Deck is downloading content material, a dialogue immediate will seem asking if the obtain ought to proceed with the show off. A Steam Deck that reaches an idle timeout may even mechanically go into the display-off low-power mode.
In follow, that is much like the remainder mode trendy consoles have that permits for downloads whereas the machine is not being actively used. This function may be actually helpful for those who’re taking part in an internet aggressive recreation and do not desire a huge obtain infringing in your bandwidth. (I converse from expertise right here.) Good for the Steam Deck to supply an identical comfort to its gamers.
