A couple of times I have been playing something and was so deep in the game I didn’t realize the battery was going down faster than I realized and the deck decided to turn off.

I have been thinking it would be nice for me to have the battery level visible even when running a game in full screen mode. I have an app on my phone with permission to display on top of other apps that draws a line around the camera cut out showing the battery charge level no matter what I am doing on the phone. In some older phone with no cutout I used to have a horizontal line in the top of the screen.

I would love to have this on the deck. Does anyone know if it exists? I’ve been searching with no result. If it doesn’t exist, I wonder how difficult it would be to implement it… I have no clue how to have it display on top of everything though.

The image shows one of the old apps I used to have to do this on my phone.

    Yes at 10% but like other people said it flashes once then goes away. Depending on the game that 10% might only last another 10-30 mins max so it’s easy to miss then have the Steam Deck just shutdown.
