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

Valve is developing a Steam feature that would show estimated frame rates for games based on crowd-sourced data from other players' gameplay performance. Code found in Steam's client suggests users could input their PC specifications to preview expected performance before purchasing games. This builds on Valve's existing efforts to collect anonymous gameplay metrics from SteamOS devices like the Steam Deck, bridging the gap between official system requirements and real-world performance across diverse PC setups.
