Big Picture for every store
A Big Picture mode for every launcher, not just Steam
Steam Big Picture is the gold standard for Steam games on a TV. The catch is everything else: games from Epic, the Xbox app, EA, Ubisoft, Battle.net or GOG only show up if you add them as non-Steam shortcuts, one by one. Onyro reads what every launcher has installed and puts it all on one controller-first shelf.
What changes when you switch
- Every launcher's games appear on their own: Steam, Xbox app, Epic Games, GOG, EA app, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, Rockstar Games Launcher, Riot Client and itch.io.
- Steam games still start through Steam, so Steam Input, the overlay, achievements and cloud saves keep working.
- A controller mouse without Steam running: hold Select and Start for three seconds.
- PlayStation DualSense and DualShock 4 work in Onyro's menus out of the box.
- Exit, restart or shut down from the controller, each with a confirmation.
- Onyro needs no account of its own.

Keep Big Picture if
Your library is almost all Steam, or you rely on Steam Input to make an unusual controller work. You can also use both: Onyro starts Steam games through Steam, and minimises Big Picture when it takes the screen back.

Questions
Will my Steam Input settings still work?
Yes. Onyro starts Steam games through Steam, so your per-game Steam Input layouts, overlay and achievements work as normal.
Can I use a PS5 controller?
Yes. DualSense and DualShock 4 work in Onyro over USB or Bluetooth. Inside a game, the game decides which controllers it accepts, and for Steam games Steam Input can translate a PlayStation controller.
Does Onyro replace Steam?
No. Onyro sits on top of your launchers. Steam, Epic and the rest stay installed and do the actual launching.
