It’s possible to create a Favourite tab in Big Picture mode linking to desktop versions of YouTube, Twitch or Plex, but it’s not fun to use. While it’s possible to exit to Windows for this, it’s an incredibly clumsy solution for a unit which wants you to forget about Windows.īoth the Alpha’s barebones UI and Big Picture mode lack easy video playback, though Steam Music is intact. That’s not a problem, though the one thing the Alpha sorely lacks over its console brethren is easy media playback. The obvious benefit of the Alpha over the new consoles is Steam’s gargantuan games library, though only a fraction of the titles are compatible with a controller out of the box. Thankfully that was easily fixed in the game’s settings menu. I spent a couple of hours playing Eldritch on the couch and it felt like the game was made for console, though it did boot automatically into a windowed screen. There’s even a category for controller games, if you want to avoid anything requiring a keyboard and mouse. Navigating Steam Big Picture mode with an Xbox 360 controller is as pleasant as it is on a desktop PC, with controller compatible games clearly indicated. This is how access to the Alpha UI looks mid-game.
