Marketing the new Steam Machine for 4K at 60FPS was a bit silly really - because there’s very few titles it’s likely to ever be able to hit with the specifications.
The vast majority of titles on steam that are 5+ years old should hit that easily, if they have a 4k option I guess. It will be the newer AAA titles with higher settings that won’t. The new wording is more accurate, although I hate ‘up to’ in any kind of marketing because it was abused so much.
Another change recently - the order emails. We were expecting Valve to send out emails on June 25th which is what they said in the original announcement, to confirm if you have a reservation or if you’re on a waiting list. That didn’t happen.
When I joined the list I did so because it said emails would go out starting on June 29th, which gave me time to have funds available if I was lucky enough to be first in line. The 25th was the sign ip closing date.
This is more about “4k gaming at 60fps” being vague than anything else.
Playing Bejeweled? Enjoy 4k @60fps then.
Playing Starfield? Well…
