What Spec Is Your PC? Steam Asks Gamers to Add Detail to User Reviews

Steam is set to make its user reviews more useful by letting the gaming community share their hardware specs so other prospective gamers can see if they’ll get a similar experience.

The feature, currently available in Steam’s latest beta, will appear as a tick box in the right-hand panel labeled Attach PC specs to this review. You’ll then be able to create a reusable profile for your hardware specs so you can automatically use them for future reviews, eliminating the need to write them out every time.

Some users have grown accustomed to including their computer’s specs in written reviews on Steam, so it’s likely the brand noticed and developed a tool to encourage all players to include more information. It’s unclear how the specs will appear on storefront review pages, if at all.

The beta also provides a new tool for SteamOS users to anonymously share frame rate data to help Steam determine game compatibility and improve the experience for other gamers.

“When enabled, Steam will collect gameplay framerate data, stored without connection to your Steam account but identified with the kind of hardware you are playing on,” according to the release notes.

You can also now include written feedback if you disagree with a Deck Verified rating on the platform. Other parts of the beta update include fixes for various issues, such as a problem that prevented some gamers from installing new titles because their libraries were too large.
