UPDATE!!! Sony has now release a PlayStation Accessories app for PC where you should be able to disable the PS button there. I recommend giving that a try first.
Can't believe Steam has an instant piss you off button. The amount of useless information I waded through telling me to turn off the same setting that was never on. You are truly a life saver. Thank you.
The bug of Guide Button was switching to big picture mode. But not only... combined with joystick, it was also adjusting my volume. That is completely awful. It came out of nowhere. I don't know the purpose of those mysterious updates except for pissing players off. So I'd like to thank you so much! Even if this kind of BS will not be the last I gonna have to face.
My playstation button for some stupid reason is always being pressed, this saved me from getting a new controller just for one button, keep up the great work
ive been dealing with this bs for over 5 years now, who, outside of steam deck users, even uses big picture mode? it is such an awful interface, and the sounds it makes when you move around pisses me the fuck off. Thank god for this video
you have no idea how long ive beent rying to figure this out. My controller is an old ps4 controller and when i would press "X" it would also press the ps home button making it impossible to do anything with it. thank you so much.
Oh I've spent a long time myself trying to figure it out and gave up a few times. Eventually I just tried this and it worked. Had to share it with you guys since I couldn't find this solution anywhere. And you're welcome bud.
My man! Crazy how they keep allowing updates to reenable this despite it being an obvious nuisance for people to the point of posting how to videos on RUclips.
Bro, thank you! It worked. Was driving me crazy. I also have to toggle xbox gamebar on and off to get it to stop responding during game stream from my local xbox
This is more useful than Steam support. Steam Support answer: Under Controller Settings in Big Picture Mode, there is an option called "Guide Button Focuses Steam", which when disabled should stop your Guide Button from opening BPM again." I sent them this video as answer.
Bruh, after following these instructions to disable BPM with the touchpad press, INSTANT dopamine release when I hit the button and nothing happened. Thank you, man. THANK YOU! I was so damn tired of that BS on CP2077 with my PS5 controller. Friggin’ saved my sanity.
This is what I wanted, bro I thought that it was something like my controller is damaged or something, but 100% works, Important and relevant information that you need to don´t be frustrated with the Steam launcher.
@@tonyhormiga5242 steam deck use to have big picture mode but in the new update they removed that feature whenever I tried to play spiderman remaster it foreces me to play with mouse and keyboard only way to disable is through big picture mode
Well done! It worked! I've been through seemingly every other YT vid that supposedly solves this and this one is the only one that's correct! Well done, may wealth and prosperity bless your life, if I see you, I owe you a beer.
Thanks! I use PS Remote play a lot on my computer, so annoying having BPM launch when I am trying to put my PS to rest. Can't believe they don't have an option for this in the menu after all these years and the only way to change this behavior is to completely unmap the the button. 🤯
If you want to properly fix this go to the in game settings, you should see big picture mode just disable it and you’ll be fine without messing up your controller layout like this guy did
@@senjixluffy7983 I've tested that and it doesn't work. That's the obvious solution that I've already tried. Maybe it works for some but if not you have to follow the steps in this video. Thanks for the comment.
@@sjames_14That's strange. I just tested it. I turned off my controller and restarted my pc and I'm not having that issue. It seems it may not be saving your settings.
@@tonyhormiga5242 Its working now it was glitching out so happy as kinda of a really annoying hijack fracture but hey where there is an will there is an way
@@charalambosmichael6161 Well if its only happening in one STEAM game but works in the others, the only thing I can imagine is there is a different in-game mapping for L1 or something like that. You could try to reset to defaults and make sure you still are mapping L1 and all the buttons correctly. The only button we are unmapping it the ps button in the middle. If that doesn't work, you might have to go back to default settings until you figure out what's cancelling out the L1.
Fire, thanks for breaking this down bro. Is there any way to still have the button mapped to where we can use it but it won't activate BPM? I'm playing OpenMW trying to map the Guide/Xbox button to Quicksave (the default mapping), but it's not doing anything and instead tabbing.
I dont own that game so I cant test completely but are you on a windows OS? I've tested a couple of things and there is a way to get big picture mode to not open with an xbox controller without unbinding the button in steam at all. Regardless of what you have I'll leave the info here in case. Step 1: You'll have to have gamebar enabled.(Just search gamebar at bottom left and click gamebar settings and enable it) Step 2: Open gamebar and go to settings (top right of the widgets bar) Step 3: Click on shortcuts and enable "Open Game bar using X guide button" Then make sure its working (opening and closing gamebar) Step 4: Completely close/exit steam if you already have it open. (Important) Step 5: Open steam again and once it is open push the guide button and it should only open gamebar. Step 6: Do steps 2 and 3 again but this time disabling the "Open Game bar using X guide button" Now it shouldn't be opening neither gamebar nor big picture mode. Unfortunately I can't test if it will work in the game but if it does you will have to follow these steps every time before you start steam(pain).
Hmm. I'm not too sure. It seems like your x button is mapped to settings somehow. My only advice would be to refollow the steps in the video. That's all I got bud.

Your video is awesome, it helped me a lot! Thanks. Just I would like your help any of you that is reading this comment, my xbox series share button does not work when it is connected via BT but it works when connected via cable, does anyone know how to fix that, I've been searching but there's no solution
You're welcome. Sorry but I'm not sure what you are talking about with the xbox controller share button. Is this a steam issue? What usually happens in steam when you press the share button?
@@tonyhormiga5242 I found that there's a bug if you connect your Xbox controller via BT instead of the cable then the Share button does not work, so that started happening when this steam this was affecting but at the end I found that there's an existing bug on the Microsoft side

This video is completely relevant in 2024! Thank you! Fixed my scuf from launching that shitty big picture mode
No problem
There was a whole essay on Steam community about this. Can't believe no one talked about this method. Thank you very much.
You're welcome! I may've seen that essay too. Nothing else I found helped.
THANKS ALOT. First video that does it without talking about nonsense and getting straight to the point. 🖤
Yessir! 👍
Shit just randomly started opening on my pc after 2-3 yrs of never happening. Your video fixed my issue

its so silly that steam doesnt just let us disable that without disabling the button entirely like let us use the button for anything else
Right? It's indeed silly.
My man! Crazy how they keep allowing updates to reenable this despite it being an obvious nuisance for people to the point of posting how to videos on RUclips.
Lol right?
Thanks Bro you save my life. After a month with this issue finally found a solution.
Glad I could help
THANK YOU! I've been struggling with this for what seems like years! and it's finally fixed!!
It was the same with me man. Glad I could help!
Thank you. This actually works, unlike every other video I've seen on the subject. Big picture mode is absolutely useless to me anyway.
Same here. Glad to help

same, i was in pure joy and happines when nothing happened after i touch that damn button
Very thankful for this video... also VERY annoyed that we have to go through this to turn this off.

actually just skip to 2:00
