Common launch arguments:

-gamepadui = Launch into the new Big Picture mode designed for handheld PCs.
-bigpicture = Now that the old Big Picture mode has been replaced by the new one, this is the same as using -gamepadui.
-steamdeck = Launches in Steam Deck mode which makes more assumptions about running Steam on SteamOS 3. This will not work properly on other on other operating systems. Use -bigpicture instead for that scenario.
