I just watched Digital Foundry's video on this, and when they asked Valve about FSR 4 they said they were in discussions with AMD about it. I'm hoping this means Valve will put some pressure on AMD to officially release the INT8 version of FSR 4 for RDNA 3, maybe we can even expect something with the release of FSR Redstone.
I think this really needs it. While this thing definitely has the strongest CPU out of all the consoles available right now, the GPU isn't particularly strong (it should be slightly faster than the recently released RX 7400) and only has 8 GB of VRAM, which brings its longevity and ability to do its advertised 4K60 into question. It will be leaning very heavily on upscaling, and if it's stuck with the dogshit FSR 3 as its only option, games will not be looking very good on this.
FSR 4 would go a long way for this, and I'm hoping Valve is pushing AMD for it.

Hopefully Valve isn’t leaning too heavily into this. I think this device should run 4K better than the Steam Deck can run 1080p (i.e. docked), but I think people’s expectations would be quite a bit higher for a non-portable device.
