That isn't to say I haven't had longer play sessions on Steam Deck. A week or two later, I finally finished a game I abandoned when I was 16 years old.
The suspend trick even works with non-Steam games and older titles: I spent hours experimenting in Lutris, an alternative Linux game launcher, getting the year 2000’s Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force to run smoothly on Steam Deck. Suddenly I was finishing games I never thought I would have time for.
Picking it up for a few random battles in Final Fantasy IV after the baby fell asleep on my chest, doing a deep space cargo run in Rebel Galaxy Outlaw as I watched her nap on the baby monitor, or sneaking in a few puzzles in Baba is You before turning in for the night. I started using the Steam Deck to play games in the margins of my day. When that worked, I got more ambitious - finishing Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order over the course of two weeks. I spent my first day with the handheld slowly playing through the Deck’s showcase demo: Valve’s Desk Job, casually picking the handheld up for just 5 minutes every few hours. When my Steam Deck arrived four months later and the feature actually worked, it changed everything. By subscribing, you are agreeing to Engadget's Terms and Privacy Policy.
