Well for the record, this has been standard functionality for mobile consoles in the past - both Playstation Vita and Nintendo Switch have the same instant suspend mechanics. Not sure about the TV-connected consoles as I never had one.

With the Playstation 4, you can put the console in sleep mode and resume from where you left off. As long as you don't switch to something else (another game), it will stay in the background.

As a grown ass adult with children, I have no time to sit through several hours in a single shot. So this has been invaluable.
