Steam Deck store pages now list average framerates from player data
Valve says the figures appear under the Steam Deck compatibility section and can be expanded into a histogram showing hitching and stutter.
Steam game store pages now display an average framerate for titles running on Steam Deck, based on data shared by players who opted in, according to Kotaku. The figure sits in the additional information section covering Steam Deck compatibility.
Players can expand the average into a histogram that shows how common each framerate is, along with how often a game hitches or stutters. Valve said the figures may not match every customer's own standard for acceptable gameplay.
The feature is already live on games that have accumulated enough data points. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth averages 37 FPS on the Steam Deck OLED, while Hades II averages 88 FPS on the same hardware.
Valve said it plans to extend the framerate data beyond Steam Deck to more devices, without giving a timeline.
Why the number matters
Steam Deck compatibility labels have long been a rough guide rather than a guarantee, and games are often marked as verified even when they do not run well. The new average and histogram give buyers performance figures before purchase, though Valve cautions that individual results can differ.
