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 save before sleeping, but never feel any need to quit. And really, the saving is just being over cautious - I’ve never had any issue just putting the Deck to sleep and resuming where it left off.

    Not using the sleep function seems to me like missing out on one of the biggest benefits of the Deck. I love being able to play for five minutes, pause for a minute or a day, and then pick up right where I left off.

      I save as well. I have had the steam deck not wake back up and require a full restart too many times to trust it.
