I’ve been banging my head against the wall trying to achieve this. I play Arkham Knight, Doom Eternal, Dead Space, and GTAV. I’m guessing it depends on the game.

From what I have read, no.

Why are you trying to push 4K 60 on a handheld?
Keep the external display resolution no higher than 1080. Your TV is going to upscale the image regardless and should look pretty good. I play halo infinite at 60 frames per second with it set of 1080 and it looks good. No way you’re going to get it native 4K, every time I tried the games had horrible frame-rate.
You don’t.
If my somewhat top of the line pc with 3700x and 6800xt can just barely do 4k 60fps how do you think a $500 dollar handheld is going to manage that?
Ok quick updates, after some helpful and hurtful feedback this is what I did. I went into settings, turned off auto select for resolution, selected 3840x2160@60, then went into the games I mentioned, selected Native under properties, then for arkham knight, went into the graphics options selected 1280x800 with AA turned off. Max FPS set to 60. Now I am able to hit 60 fps. Sometimes it drops down in the 30s depending on how much ass I’m kicking but I think it looks great. Thanks for all the help!
Has it caught fire yet? Or did it just turn directly into a melted puddle?
Depends heavily on the game, it’s a steam deck not a 300-400w GPU in a well ventilated case. Assuming you’ve got the hardware and software set up correctly, you can probably get games like Portal 2 to run at 4K60. Trying for the games you mentioned is just wishful thinking.
I have a semi-related question: Can the official dock output 4K 120hz using a DP 1.4 to HDMI 2.1 cable? I’m reading conflicting claims online about this.
4k is overrated
Steam deck cannot achieve that on any modern AAA game.
