"Over three years after its launch, Steam Deck is getting a much-requested feature that will allow users to complete all downloads in a new low-power mode with the screen turned off. The feature is rolling out to Steam Deck owners part of the Beta and Preview channels and should eventually be available widely. Before the new update, downloads and updates on the Steam Deck required the device to be powered on with its screen on, thus consuming more battery power."
"The feature will be enabled by default when Steam Deck is plugged in to power, Valve said. Steam Deck users can also manually enable it on battery power in Settings > Power. Once a user starts a download, display-off download can be activated by hitting the power button, which will bring up a new dialog that asks if the user wants to continue downloading with the screen off."
Steam Deck introduces a display-off low-power download mode that allows active downloads to continue with the screen turned off. The feature is initially rolling out to Beta and Preview channel users and will expand more broadly. The mode is enabled by default when the device is plugged in and can be manually enabled on battery in Settings > Power. Users can activate the mode via a power-button dialog when starting a download or let the Deck enter it automatically after an idle timeout. While downloading with the screen off, a status screen shows progress when the device is moved or the power button is pressed.
