Controller functionality.
With playstation gamepads, we can choose a few options for what the PS button does.

But through windows or steam, we cant get it to open the gamebar, like the same button would on an xbox controller.

Could we get the option to map the gamebar to a button? That would be super useful imo.

Right now i have nothing mapped to it, because the options arent all that useful for me. If im opening the overlay, i just alt/tab, because its probably to chat or join a game.

Being able to record a video without using the mouse and keyboard would be sick.

Just to note: i force the gamebar to use my igpu. (OBS too)

To have similar functionality with steam, id have to launch it with the igpu, and manually force every single game to use the dedicated gpu.

Mapping gamebar to PS button would be a massive QOL thing for minimal effort on steams part.

The Xbox game bar is not part of Steam.

Thats ok, they dont need to own microsoft lol.

Theres already a few options for what the PS button can do. I just think adding the gamebar to those options would be useful.
