Simple! Just open your Steam client and click on 'Steam' in the upper left corner, then go to 'Settings'. Click on the 'In-Game' tab and you'll see a checkbox for 'Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game'. Just uncheck that box, hit 'OK', and voila, no more overlay!

Pro tip: Remember to check game-specific settings too! Some games have their own overlay options that might override the general Steam settings. So if you're still seeing the overlay after disabling it in Steam, take a peek in the game's settings just in case.
