Steam Deck average FPS data, Digi Mart USA News: Valve has introduced a feature that lets Steam Deck owners check how well a game runs before they buy it. According to a publisher report published November 10, 2026, users can now see the average framerate other players achieve in a specific game.
Previously, Steam Deck compatibility ratings did not show how many frames per second a game delivers on the handheld. The publisher notes that the verification system is not always accurate on performance, as some games marked Verified may still run poorly, while some titles listed as Unsupported can run surprisingly well.
Valve has confirmed that average framerate data is already available for thousands of games and says it will continue expanding the list as more data is collected. The data is available for games that have already been tested for Steam Deck compatibility.
Shoppers can find it on a game’s Steam Store page by opening the Steam Deck Compatibility section and selecting “Learn more.”
The figures are not based on Valve’s own performance tests. Instead, they come from Steam Deck owners who previously agreed to share anonymous framerate information.
Users can also view a framerate histogram, which shows whether a game runs consistently or experiences frequent performance drops, including stuttering that an average number alone may not reveal.
The publisher adds that the data reflects Steam Decks running at their default frame limits, which are 60 FPS for the LCD model and 90 FPS for the OLED model. Games need enough performance samples before an average becomes visible, so less popular titles may not show data until more players contribute.
