Valve has begun displaying Steam Deck average framerate data directly on Steam Store pages. The information appears in the Steam Deck Compatibility section under the “Learn more” link and includes the average FPS plus an expandable histogram.
The numbers come from players who opted in to share anonymous performance data. Valve has collected this data since at least February 2026 and now makes it public for games rated Verified, Playable or Unsupported, covering thousands of titles.
What the data shows
The histogram breaks down the percentage of samples in different FPS ranges, helping identify whether the average hides variations or performance drops. LCD and OLED Steam Deck data are shown separately when available. Only systems using default framerate limits (60 FPS on LCD and 90 FPS on OLED) are included.
Valve says the feature provides a more complete picture of real-world performance, as the compatibility badge alone may not reflect every player’s experience. The company also plans to expand data collection to desktop PCs in the future, starting with the Steam Client Beta.
