Steamdeck remote download

[tomchaltom]

Why isnt there remote download for steamdeck???

Why isnt there remote download/queueing even when PC or deck is off???
So when I turn them next time on it would start automaticly.

Are you wanting to remotely start a download to the Steam Deck from your phone? Or are you wanting to remotely start a download to your PC from your Steam Deck?

I want to remotely initiate download from phone or PC onto steamdeck. This function is missing. The same as when you f.e. buy game on your phone and imediately can start download to your PC.

You can use the remote download function to initiate a download to your Deck from your phone. I've been doing it for a year.

I think you can, but your Steam Deck needs to be turned on and connected to the Internet for it to work.

What would be the point. Its supposed to start either imediately when its turned on (or in standby) or the next tíme you turn it on. I checked my phone and there is no option to download to my deck.

It needs to see the Deck online to start the process.

OK I found that it works but either PC or deck needs to be on or in standby. Thanks for you replies nevertheless I meant that I dont know why this is not functinoning like queuing the next time you turn on PC or deck it would start downloading.???
