I had Cyberpunk on my Steam Deck when I put it to sleep a couple days ago. I turned it on today, having totally forgot I was in game. I stared at a nightclub on my screen, dumbfounded, as I was expecting the main menu.
I hadn’t even paused the game when I put my Deck to sleep. I just hit the power button and could play instantly. I still had 30% charge from having played earlier because I didn’t even plug the thing in.
What a total shock.
Some games never quit right and some games quit pretty fast? I play Dishonored 2 and if I put it to sleep for a few minutes it quits the game (back on SD home). I gotta use the Deck pause plugin to stop it.
What dictates if a game can be paused in sleep mode?
I know some games that need an internet connection will send you back to the main menu but what about the ones that dont?
