The feature has already been there for years. You have to enable it in the settings when you also enable the Steam overlay.

Really? I thought BP didn't have it?

It's rather obtuse, but the setting isn't in BP. You have to go to the settings window from the client: In-Game > "Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game" box checked + "In-game FPS counter" dropdown menu. Then open BP and launch your game from there.

It doesn't work without BP because BP isn't enabled for it.

I don't see it when using Big Picture.

Odd, used to work.

In the BP forum...

I know it used to be there. It was the only feature to work in BPM at least months ago. It was competing with the other games which use third party launchers, and the respective launchers/games had their own built-in FPS counter. I hardly use BPM because of it, now I know it's gone.

It has been something users have been asking for since BP was released.

It's been there. Somehow it got removed. It was a prominent feature in BP.
