Ever since Valve introduced the Steam update in June 2023, it has become even more user-friendly. Especially the Steam Overlay, this feature is surely one of my favorite additions to the client. The simple reason is that it makes every activity on Steam hassle-free, even while you are in-game. Just by pressing the Steam Overlay Shortcut button, one can bring down a bunch of helpful options like Chatbox, Steam Community, Browser, etc.
But sadly, most of the users are still unaware of this feature and that’s why we are here. We will tell you about the Steam Overlay Shortcut Key and how can you change it as per your preference.

- Shift + Tab
By pressing this button (in-game), you can access the Steam Overlay menu. Wherein, you will get several options like the Game Overview, Achievements, Notes, Web Browser, Guides, etc. This saves you time for switching windows and navigating to a specific option on your Steam Client.
Anyways, if you want to change the Steam Overlay Shortcut button then here is how you can do so:
