There is no such thing as "general PC hardware".

Steam verifiability on PC platform.

Just like how games are steam deck verified, but for steam has some sort of verifiability on general PC hardware and show if they're verified based off of the minimum specs of what are listed in the games store page. It looks just like the way the steam deck one would look like, just under that part

Text entry fields are not as easy to "search" through, especially when game devs put in joke requirements. Example...

The Steam Deck uses the same hardware regardless of who has it.

A users PC will have hundreds of different combinations from different parts.
So they cannot verify anything in regards to a PC.

I was thinking something of sorts of when companies use software to scan the specs of your device to see what kind of device you’re trying to troubleshoot. Using that kind of tech, based on that information provided, they can tell you if your device “should” be able to play the game they are looking at

Never going to be integrated into Steam because "should run" is not good enough.

That "tech" is highly inaccurate and unreliable. You can compare a few of those sites, but you'll see that they give different results even when you use the same hardware/game combo. It's simply not accurate.

You could still meet the required specs, but that still doesn't mean you will have the same experience running the game as someone else with the exact same specs.

You will then need to contact those companies for that software, for now read the system requirements on the store pages.
