We have just shipped an updated Steam Deck Client to the Stable channel.
Display-Off Low Power Downloads
Added a new feature, allowing Steam Deck to complete all active downloads in a new display-off low-power mode before going to sleep.
This feature is enabled by default when Steam Deck is plugged in to power, and can also be enabled on battery power in Settings > Power.
Learn more about this feature at our blog post here.
