Reporting from 1 sources: Game Spark.
Valve has revised the Steam Machine product page, removing the phrase "60FPS" from the description. The original text promised "4K gaming experience at 60FPS with FSR" using AMD hardware. The updated text now reads "up to 4K gaming experience with FSR 4.1." The change follows early reviews that reported some games struggled to run at high resolutions. The Steam Machine remains sold out at the Japanese retailer KOMODO.
Valve has quietly updated the Steam Machine product page, removing the promise of 60FPS gameplay at 4K resolution. The original description claimed the device could "achieve a 4K gaming experience at 60FPS with FSR using AMD's custom semi-custom desktop-class CPU and GPU." The revised text now reads "achieve up to 4K gaming experience with FSR 4.1 using AMD's semi-custom desktop-class discrete CPU and GPU." The change swaps "FSR" for "FSR 4.1" and replaces the firm 60FPS guarantee with the more cautious "up to 4K." According to Kotaku, the edit follows early reviews that found some games could not maintain high frame rates at 4K. The Steam Machine, priced between 189,980 yen and 264,980 yen at KOMODO STATION, is currently sold out.
