Yep! The Steam Deck does indeed download games in sleep mode, but there's a catch. You gotta make sure your settings are adjusted to allow downloads during this time. It's like teaching your Steam Deck to multitask in its sleep. Just dive into the settings and ensure it's set up properly, and your games will be ready to play when you wake up!

Nah, why bother with sleep mode downloads? Just leave it on and let it do its thing. Faster that way.

Actually, the Steam Deck's ability to download games in sleep mode is one of its coolest features. I remember setting up a bunch of downloads, flipping it into sleep mode, and poof鈥攅verything was ready to go the next morning. Just double-check those settings to make sure it鈥檚 not trying to catch Zs instead of KBs.

Downloading in sleep mode is overrated. Manage your time and downloads better during active hours.
