Rising Trend: Gamers Switching to 1440p and 4K Resolutions – Valve’s Steam Hardware Survey

2023-07-05 12:49:00

Valve’s recent Steam hardware survey shows that those who can afford it are slowly but steadily ditching 1080p displays in favor of 1440p and 4K resolutions. The hardware survey shows that while 1080p games still dominate, 2.33% of players on Steam have now switched to visual upscaling. Of course, not everyone can pick up the 4090 and run the latest games at their highest resolution, but considering Steam has over 100 million users, that 2.33% equates to roughly 2 million people deciding to see it better on a monitor. With 62% of gamers still using 1080p, that lead is unlikely to disappear anytime soon unless the GPU market changes significantly soon. However, as more and more gamers move to the upper limit of the resolution, perhaps over time we might see 1080p gaming land in the same boat as 720p, which is now mostly used on handheld devices.
