Please add option for PC specs in Steam Reviews and/or profile
With many modern games launching with all sorts of performance issues or using the infamous Unreal Engine 5, which has many issues of its own, reading through reviews can sometimes make it hard to judge if a game runs well or not, as not everyone mentions their PC specs in their review. So it is possible some people are running a game on really low end hardware and facing performance issues, which would be impossible to tell from a review unless mentioned.

As a PC-centric storefront, I think it would be a good idea if there was an option to add PC specs to your Steam profile or reviews, so when browsing reviews you can click on a button to the side of the reviewer's name for example and see their PC specs (if the user has added them). That way you'd be able to more reliably tell if a game is running poorly on all sorts of hardware, or the majority of people leaving negative reviews for performance simply use older hardware for example.

Is there something preventing you from just doing it yourself? Plenty of users do that already.

It would be useful if you could filter out the whining from people still using GTX 1050s and 1060s in 2025. I doubt that will happen, though.

I don't really write reviews, but it is true one can just add their specs to their Steam profile. But even if a user has added specs to their profile, I won't click on each reviewer individually and even then not everyone mentions their PC specs in their reviews.

What I am suggesting is more of a Quality of Life feature to be able to tell a reviewer's specs, even just the basic ones (CPU, GPU and RAM) at a glance, without the need for them to mention said specs in their reviews. So a dropdown menu for example , or some pop-up to the side where it shows you a user's specs (which they can choose to add or not) sounds like a useful feature.
