Estimated FPS data could be coming to Steam soon

Valve is reportedly working on a new feature for Steam that would provide estimated FPS data for games based on users' system specifications. This feature, if implemented, could help PC gamers, Steam Deck, and Steam Machine users make more informed purchasing decisions by offering performance insights beyond vague system requirements. The data would be based on the frame rates of other users, potentially collected globally to enhance accuracy. However, concerns about data privacy and trust in Valve's data handling practices may arise. The feature could also prompt discussions on optimizing performance with upscaling technologies like FSR and DLSS. Valve has not officially announced this feature yet, but it could offer valuable insights for gamers in the future.
