This update introduces the new Modern mode integrated in Steam UI, keeps the previous behavior as Classic Mode, and adds PlayStation Store background search with bulk artwork setup. It also improves launch stability, loading smoothness, per-game settings, and overall curtain customization!
What’s new
The previous Launch Curtain behavior is now called Classic Mode, and Launch Curtain now includes two curtain modes: Classic Mode, which uses the familiar external Windows overlay, and Modern Mode, which runs inside Steam Big Picture for a more integrated launch experience.
Added launch information with a spinner, so the curtain can show the current launch state while a game is starting.
Added background zoom-out animation, letting the background start slightly enlarged and smoothly settle into place during launch.
Added a redesigned per-game settings page with cleaner cards for game behavior, appearance, editor tools and artwork sources.
Updated the PlayStation Store background search, including per-game background selection and a Quick Access Menu bulk option for filling missing game backgrounds, with logo placement tuned to feel closer to the standard PS5 UI presentation.
Added a wider Editor for logo placement, scale, logo shadow opacity and logo shadow blur, with a larger live preview.
Added per-game overrides for curtain mode and launch timeout, so specific games can use Classic or Modern modes independently from the global setting.
Improvements
Logo and background presentation is smoother and faster in Classic mode.
Improved Classic Mode handoff while games, launchers and helper processes are starting.
Improved detection for difficult launch flows, including games that open through launcher bridge processes before the real game window appears.
Improved background and logo loading speed in Classic Mode.
Added an emergency close path for Modern Mode through the physical ESC key and B button on gamepads.
Classic Mode can now be closed with a mouse click too.
Logo rendering is stronger and more configurable, with shadow opacity and blur control added to the editor.
Launch information is now localized consistently instead of appearing only in the Quick Access Menu.
