## Key points

- Steam pages now show opt-in Deck frame-rate data.
- The figures add detail beyond Verified and Unsupported labels.
- Valve may explore performance estimates for varied PC hardware.

## Summary

Valve has added opt-in, anonymised frame-rate data to many Steam Store pages, giving players a clearer sense of how games perform on Steam Deck and Steam Deck OLED. The figures can reveal differences that the Steam Deck Verified badge alone does not show, helping buyers judge what performance to expect.

Valve has collected the data since February and displays averages and histograms. It says VSync and frame-rate limits may affect results, while users’ custom game settings are not captured. Cyberpunk 2077 averages around 30–40 FPS on Deck, compared with 50–60 FPS for Skyrim: Special Edition; some games marked Unsupported also show playable results, including Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, which nears 60 FPS on OLED. Valve has also signalled interest in helping players understand performance across the wider variety of PC hardware.
