Steam Gaming Mode — Full-screen gaming interface from Steam

Steam Gaming Mode (Big Picture-style) is a full-screen interface that Steam provides for browsing and launching games. On systems like Bazzite or Steam Deck it can be used as the main way to interact with the device.

Steam Gaming Mode is Valve’s full-screen, controller-friendly UI for Steam. It is designed for living room or handheld use: you browse your library, install games, and launch them without using a traditional desktop. On Bazzite and Steam Deck images it is offered as an optional “desktop” that boots straight into this experience.
