Edit: I was wrong.

Just noticed they added an ad screen saver. Have not had a chance to look at how to disable it.

Had the screenshot slideshow version happen to me today and it surprised me, but it makes me look forward to the animation loader decky plugin update for it (fingers crossed) 😄

Screensaver - Big Picture Mode

Added a new screensaver feature, accessible in Settings > Customization. There are two screensavers available:

  • The default is a game art slideshow that can be configured to show artwork from recently played games and your recent in-game screenshots.
  • A retro inspired bouncing logo screensaver
  • Big Picture mode can also load custom screensavers. Similar to startup movies, they can be placed in the config\uioverrides\screensavers directory in your Steam install directory (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam or ~/.steam/root). You can use the bouncing logo screensaver (in the steamui\screensavers directory) as an example to get started.

Also, it's not really ads when it shows you your own artwork/screenshots.

So far I have only seen games I have never seen/heard of on it.

A sign your backlog/screenshot library is too big?

Maybe they changed it? I got a screenshot of a crash I made years ago and never deleted the screenshot after reporting. Gave me quite a shock to see an error message of a crash out of the blue.

There was just a Steam Controller update too. There is so much more rumble now.

Got a dock firmware update too. No idea what it does though.
