How To Display Steam S Built In Fps Counter In Pc Games

First, click Steam > Settings in Steam.

In the Settings window that appears, click “In-Game” in the left sidebar.

Click the “In-game FPS counter” box and select your preferred location. By default, it’s set to “Off” and won’t be displayed. You can choose Top-left, Top-right, Bottom-right, or Bottom-left to place the counter at any corner of your screen.

When you’re done, click “OK” to save your settings and launch a Steam game.

Here’s how the standard FPS counter looks at the top-left corner of a game:

It’s up to you whether you want a more noticeable and visible FPS counter or one that blends better into the background until you look for it.

This isn’t the most powerful FPS counter compared to other tools, but it’s simple and built-in. For more control, check out other in-game FPS-monitoring tools.
