Valve was working on this feature for the Steam Deck. You can already save, close the game on the Deck, and restore the save on your PC, but Valve developers explained quite a few times they actually wanted you to simply put the Deck to sleep and start the game on the PC in the exact same frame you’ve left off. Which is indeed a massive challenge, and would certainly require some sort of intermediary “loading” screen, but it would still be cool. They even had a few internal tests with such a feature.
But now it’s a Sony patent? Zero chance of this coming out for the Deck.
Ah shit…

I doubt this patent would affect this
As far as I know this has already been implemented in the PC port of Spider-Man. It saves and syncs when you put it to sleep while playing.
