Steam could soon show estimated FPS based on crowd-sourced player data

TL;DR AI
2 min readKey summary
New Steam client code suggests Steam may show estimated FPS charts using anonymized, crowd-sourced frame-rate and system data.
Valve already collects anonymous telemetry on SteamOS and prompts users to allow FPS tracking on devices like the Steam Deck.
Reviewers can now attach hardware specs to reviews, and it's unclear if the FPS estimates will reach Windows Steam.
Aggregating across settings, mods, and upscalers will require normalization for reliable estimates.
