## Key points

- Steam store pages now show average framerates for eligible Deck games.
- A histogram helps show how consistent performance is.
- Valve is considering expanding the data to other devices.

## Summary

Valve has added player-reported average framerates to the Steam Deck Compatibility section of eligible games’ Steam store pages. The data gives buyers a practical view of performance alongside compatibility ratings, which may not reflect everyone’s expectations for smooth gameplay.

The figures come from Steam Deck players who have opted in to sharing framerate data, and a histogram shows how frequently different framerates were recorded, helping indicate whether performance varies. The feature covers games tested for Deck compatibility, including those rated Verified, Playable or Unsupported. Valve says it is considering framerate data for more devices, though extending it to desktop PCs may be difficult because their hardware varies widely.
