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.

I leave it for weeks at a time.
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?
I don’t think it matters what you had open when you are in standby mode. So AAA or other stuff it would likely be similar.
Used to leave my Vita on standby for like 3 weeks, come back and it’s still on 75% battery ❤️
How’s it play native on the deck? It’s going to be my next game for sure.
Plan to mix home streaming and running it native (hopefully).
Oh yeah. Comes very handy for games like Armored Core, where you get super far into a level then have to go, but can’t save your progress manually. Just put it in sleep mode 😊
