You can now make screenshots screenshots(LS+RS), recording(LB+RB+A to start/stop recording), displaying fps(LB+RB+X) and restarting Steam(LB+RB+Home) with your controller, even when you're not in a game. Recording and displaying fps may not work on AMD and sound with recording still has some problems and may not work at all in some cases.
