Just curious what other people do. I always save and close my games before putting the deck in sleep mode. Not sure why exactly I’m just afraid something will go wrong.

Does anyone leave games open in sleep mode all the time? If so have you ever had any issues?

    I used to, but now I’ll close a game if I’m in a good spot to close it, and don’t think I’ll want to play it again next time I wake the deck. Most of the time now I just pause the game and put the deck to sleep, one of the big selling points for me was being able to just pause and sleep whenever and come back later. Not all games feature a constant or frequent enough autosave, which can increase tension in some games (i.e. metro exodus on ranger hardcore, and metroid/resident evil needing a save station/typewriter) but makes small play sessions next to impossible, with the deck I don’t need to save and close the game or leave it paused and open sucking massive power on a desktop. I can just hit that little button and come back whenever I feel like it.
