Steam hints at a Framerate Estimator for performance charts

TL;DR Summary
Ars Technica reports that a Steam client update hints at a forthcoming Framerate Estimator, which would show per‑game estimated framerates based on anonymized performance data from other users; it builds on Valve’s February data-sharing for compatibility and could let users compare per‑title framerates across hardware configurations, potentially aligning with Steam Deck/SteamOS initiatives, though how in‑game settings will be accounted for remains unclear.
