How to STOP PS5 or XBOX Controller Guide Button Opening STEAM Big Picture Mode (Best Method)
2Steam's "Big Picture Mode" is a full-screen, controller-friendly interface. By default, pressing the home button (the PS logo or Xbox logo) on a controller will often launch this mode. This can be annoying if you want to use the button for other purposes, like activating the Xbox Game Bar or simply doing nothing.
Here are the best methods to stop this behavior, starting with the most direct approach.
Method 1: The "General Controller Settings" Menu (The Most Direct Method)
This is the primary setting in Steam designed to control this exact behavior.
Open Steam: Launch the Steam desktop client.
Go to Settings: In the top-left corner, click on "Steam," then "Settings."
Navigate to Controller Settings: In the left-hand menu, select Controller.
Open General Controller Settings: Click the "GENERAL CONTROLLER SETTINGS" button. This will open a new, full-screen window.
Disable "Guide Button Focuses Steam": In this new window, you will see a list of global controller settings. Find the option "Guide Button Focuses Steam" and uncheck the box next to it.
This setting directly tells Steam to not bring itself to the forefront or launch Big Picture Mode when the home button is pressed. For many users, this is all that is needed.
