BIG PICTURE MODE

SUPPORT

Big Picture mode
Big Picture is a mode of Steam designed for use with your TV and game controller, so you can enjoy your Steam games from the comfort of your couch. With the press of a button, Steam displays a full-screen user interface which has been completely redesigned for readability and interaction on TV. It can also be used on your usual computer display.

If you are having trouble using Big Picture mode, please review our Big Picture FAQ for more information. Feel free to contact us if you have any further questions.
