Amid Steam Machine performance scrutiny, Valve removes '4K at 60FPS' claim
Eurogamer • • general
Key Points:
- Valve quietly updated the Steam Machine product page, removing the claim that it can run games at 4K resolution and 60 FPS, now stating only "Up to 4K gaming with FSR 4.1."
- Previously, Valve had promoted 4K at 60 FPS with FSR as an achievable target for the Steam Machine, including in their FAQ and media communications.
- The revision was noticed by users on social media and forums amid increased scrutiny of the Steam Machine's hardware capabilities following its launch.
- Industry experts suggest the Steam Machine is better considered a 1080p device, with 4K performance relying heavily on upscaling and reduced settings for playable framerates.
- Valve has not publicly explained the reason or timing for the change, and inquiries have been made to the company for clarification.
