Steps for reproducing this issue:

2. Once the title has launched, navigate to Steam > Home and select another title.
3. Press Play.
4. Once the Running multiple games prompt appears, press B.

Reproduction Rate: 5/5

Affected Platforms

• LCD: Yes
• OLED: Yes
• Desktop Deck-like session (gamescope -e -- steam -gamepadui -steamdeck): Yes
• Desktop: No (This prompt does not appear in Big Picture Mode on Desktop)

Actual result

• Pressing Back / B dismisses the prompt, but behaves as if Launch anyway was selected.

Expected result

• Pressing Back / B should dismiss the prompt and return the user to the Game Details Page. Secondary title should only launch if Launch \<GAME> anyway is explicitly selected.
• Alternatively provide an option to close all running titles and proceed with launch.
