It’s taken Valve a while to get there but they’ve new added the new Steam Chat into Steam’s Big Picture Mode.<\/p>\n

One thing to note, is that for the new key-binds to actually work on the Steam Controller, I had to go into Steam’s settings and re-select the official Steam Controller config. Do this by going into Big Picture Mode > Settings > Base Configurations > Big Picture configuration and then simply select the official one again and apply it. I’ve opened an issue<\/a> on the Valve GitHub for it.<\/p>\n

Once I did that, it worked better, although not exactly as they describe. The D-pad binds don’t seem to work correctly, you’re supposed to be able to do a long press on the D-pad or the stick for certain actions.

The Steam Chat system is still new to Big Picture, so there will be teething issues.<\/p>\n

This should mean that SteamOS itself will now have the new Steam Chat too, for those of you using it. Even so, it’s a shame they basically shoehorned the existing UI into Big Picture Mode without making it work any better.<\/p>\n

Another Steam Input change, is now having per-game settings into the desktop client’s game properties:<\/p>\n
