The Steam Machine is a cool little console that\u2019s about as powerful as a PlayStation 5, according to my colleague Sean Hollister\u2019s in-depth review<\/a>. But one area where it lags behind is with its earlier version of AMD FSR upscaler: It\u2019s just not as good as it should be. Yes, it can sharpen low-res graphics to make games look higher-res, but the PS5 (and especially the PS5 Pro<\/a>) render a clearer image in motion with some games we compared.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not great news for the Steam Machine, especially since it\u2019s launching at $1,049 for the 512GB version \u2014 a higher price than anyone hoped for. But there is some hope that games on the console will look somewhat better in the future. Valve\u2019s Pierre-Loup Griffais told The Verge that it\u2019s working with AMD to bring FSR 4<\/a>, its latest bag of upscaling and performance-improving tools, to the Steam Machine.<\/p>\n

In an email, Valve adds that FSR 4 is \u201ccoming soon\u201d but that it \u201ccan\u2019t say more about timing.\u201d This is all encouraging to hear, since the last we heard in the \u201cwill-it-won\u2019t-it\u201d drama, the likelihood of AMD bringing FSR 4 to devices with RDNA3 integrated GPUs (such as the Steam Machine) was a little bleak<\/a>.<\/p>\n

FSR 4 contains numerous enhancements that improve how compatible games running with the upscaler look in motion (including AI-assisted frame generation), which will hopefully give the Steam Machine a definitive edge over Sony\u2019s six-year-old, $650 console. Valve tells us \u201cIt should offer a significant improvement in upscaling graphical quality.\u201d<\/p>\n
