AMD has confirmed that its AI-based FSR 4 upscaling technology will be coming to handheld gaming devices by the end of 2026, per AMD consumer chip boss Jack Huynh. However, it remains unclear whether existing handhelds like the Steam Deck will receive the upgrade or if a new FSR4-capable chip will be required.
Background
AMD FSR 4 is a machine learning-based upscaling and frame generation technology that was initially introduced for external GPUs. The rise of portable PC gaming handhelds like Steam Deck has created demand for performance-boosting technologies on lower-power hardware.
