Force "controller support" so game shows up in Big Picture
I've got some old (and some new) games on Steam that fully/partially support controllers, but their devs haven't listed controller support in the steam store.
Is there any way to force these games into the controller support list? Making a separate category would be a possible work around, but I already categorize my games so this would be far from optimal.
Best Answer
Create a new catagory of your own, this can be looked at in big picture and you can choose whatever games you like in it even ones you have modded for controller support or third party games.
to do this right click on the game in your libary and click add catagory you will get a screen like this
Then give it a name e.g. "Controller Friendly"
then when you look in your library they will be seperated like this
and you can select specific catagories in big picture by clicking the drop down at the top shown in the picture below

This seems not possible for the moment. Maybe in a future update but you're not alone wishing to have this feature.
