Valve Introduces Average Framerate Data for Steam Deck Compatibility
Valve has implemented a new feature on its Steam store pages that provides users with specific performance metrics for games running on both the Steam Deck OLED and LCD handheld models. The 'Steam Deck Compatibility' section now displays average framerates per device, provided sufficient user data is available to generate an accurate metric. To facilitate this transparency, Valve has introduced a setting allowing users to opt into sharing anonymous frame rate data. This update aims to provide greater clarity for consumers regarding game performance on handheld hardware before purchase, potentially reducing consumer uncertainty in the growing handheld PC gaming market.
