RECENT ANNOUNCEMENTS
New Steam Deck data now available in beta

Today we've updated the partner dashboard with more information for Steam Deck Verified games. If your game has received a Steam Deck verification report and is marked as Verified, you will now see two new data sections tied to that report.

Average framerate data

This section provides the trailing 30 days daily running average based on users that opted to allow their framerate data to be gathered and have had playtime for the game. In the future, we'll be adding variance data for each date so you'll be able to see if framerate is steady or fluctuates a great deal for your players. We'll also be expanding this view to Steam Deck Playable games in a future update.

User survey results

These results are based on a survey of users who have opted in to providing feedback on a game's Steam Deck Verified status. This survey is available after 10 minutes of play and appears on the app's page in the client library.  Users can select if they agree or disagree with the Verified status. If they disagree, they'll see a list of possible reasons for disagreeing: Input, Legibility, Performance, Stability, and Other. Customers can select any from this list which apply. This gives you, as the developer, data over the trailing 30 days, letting you see if updates have improved or maybe regressed the Steam Deck experience for players.

We're providing this data because while customers overwhelmingly agree with the Verified rating for titles (>95%), it can be valuable for developers to better understand the experiences of customers who disagree, especially in the context of a specific title or update.

As always, please comment to provide us with bug reports and feedback on what changes or additional information you would like to see in this feature.
