Steam has rolled out a new update focused on improving the usefulness of user reviews. With the latest change, players can now attach their hardware specifications when writing a new review or editing an existing one.
The feature is presented as an optional checkbox during the review process. When enabled, a user’s PC details will be displayed alongside their feedback, allowing other players to better understand the system behind the experience.

This update aims to add more technical context to reviews, particularly for players who rely on user impressions before purchasing a game. Performance-related comments whether positive or negative, can now be evaluated with clearer insight, as readers will be able to see the hardware configuration used.
For PC players, where performance can differ significantly depending on components, the addition could make reviews more informative and easier to interpret. It may also help reduce uncertainty around optimization discussions by connecting feedback directly to system specs.
The move signals Steam’s continued effort to refine its platform through smaller, practical updates that enhance the overall user experience.
