Steam Deck Users Can Check Average FPS

Valve Introduces New Feature for Steam Deck

Valve has introduced a new feature for Steam Deck owners, allowing them to check the average FPS of a game before purchasing it. This feature is similar to what is available on the Apple iPad Air M2 and Samsung Galaxy S25, where users can check the performance of a game before buying it.

The average framerate data is already available for thousands of games, including popular titles like Fortnite and PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, and the list will keep growing. This new feature will help Steam Deck users make informed decisions before buying a game, ensuring they get the best gaming experience on their device, similar to what they would get on a Microsoft Xbox Series X or a Sony PlayStation 5.

Steam Deck users can now check the average FPS of a game by visiting the game’s store page on the Steam website or on the Steam Deck itself. The average FPS is displayed prominently on the game’s store page, making it easy for users to find and compare the performance of different games.

This new feature is a significant improvement for Steam Deck users, who previously had to rely on reviews and user testimonials to get an idea of a game’s performance. With this feature, users can now make informed decisions about which games to buy, based on their device’s capabilities and the game’s performance requirements, similar to how they would on a Google Pixel 7 or an Amazon Fire TV Cube.

How to Check Average FPS on Steam Deck

To check the average FPS of a game on Steam Deck, users can follow these steps: navigate to the game’s store page, click on the ‘System Requirements’ tab, and look for the ‘Average FPS’ section. The average FPS will be displayed along with other system requirements, such as the recommended processor, memory, and graphics card, which can also be found on devices like the Nintendo Switch OLED Model or the Oculus Quest 2.
