Steam adds player FPS data for Steam Deck: where to find it

Where the new figures appear

Valve has opened player-sourced Steam Deck frame-rate data to customers. Its announcement is dated November 9 in Pacific time, November 10 in UTC.

On a game’s Steam store page, open Steam Deck Compatibility, then Learn more. Valve says thousands of tested games have data, including titles rated Verified, Playable and Unsupported. The figures also appear in the library on Steam Client Beta.

Look beyond the average

An expandable histogram shows how samples are distributed across frame rates. It helps readers see variation that one average can conceal.

The data comes from players who opted in. Valve filters it to Decks using default frame limits, 90 FPS for OLED and 60 FPS for LCD, but does not control for custom in-game graphics settings. A displayed average is therefore not a promise for your chosen settings or every scene.

Missing data and participation

Valve requires a minimum number of anonymous samples before showing a game’s figures; it does not publish the threshold in this announcement. A missing result does not establish poor performance.

Participation can be changed in Steam Account Settings under Data & Browsing, then Anonymous Game Framerate Data. Desktop-client collection is still in beta; this announcement does not establish public performance data for every PC configuration.
