Yep, the Steam Deck absolutely downloads games and updates while it's snoozing in sleep mode. Just make sure you've got a solid WiFi connection and that your download settings don't limit it to only updating at certain times. It's kinda like leaving your pet robot to tidy up the house while you're out – come back, and all the chores are done!

Nope, doesn't work. My Deck just naps, no downloads or anything.

Actually, it does download in sleep mode, but keep an eye out for huge updates. Sometimes, waking it up feels a bit like Christmas morning...you never know what new games or updates you'll find!
