AMD seems to have surprised everyone with its latest graphics driver. The new Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 patch, released on June 22, comes with support for FSR Upscaling 4.1 on RX 7000 series graphics cards. Likewise, it comes with game support for the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced – also earlier than expected, as the game doesn’t come out until July 9.

When AMD announced FSR 4.1 support for its older-gen GPUs, the company originally revealed a July release window. It appears it has dropped early after Valve uploaded FSR 4-related files to its open-source Proton Experimental branch yesterday, just ahead of the Steam Machine launch. You can now ready up to pre-order Valve’s cubed mini PC by joining its reservation queue.

Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 patch notes

Below are the full patch notes for the latest AMD graphics driver. All desktop RX 7000 series GPUs are supported, from the (OEM only) RX 7400 to the flagship RX 7900 XTX. Valve’s Steam Machine also uses the same RDNA 3 architecture as the 7000 series.

Those still using an RX 6000 series GPU will be glad to know that AMD also announced FSR 4.1 support on the way for the RDNA 2 cards. However, this is currently slated for early 2026. There is no indication of an early arrival just yet.

Would you buy a bare bones Steam Machine?

Would you buy a variant of the Steam Machine with no RAM and/or no SSD and install them separately to help save on costs?
