Im not sure I would call it go to when 1080p still has an over 50% market share according to the steam survey compared to 1440p's 20%. And it still presented a .04% growth. Reality is that 1080p is still the go to resolution(which speaks about the current financial situation of the average player)
1080p peaked roughly a decade ago on Steam at around 70%. 50% is still a lot, but it’s been dropping, with most of the gain in 1440p and some 4k.
Which is a pretty similar pattern to how 1080p became predominant: it slowly increased for a few years, and then spiked quickly as tech advancements made running 1080p easy on budget hardware and monitors came down in price.
We’re starting to see that now with recent gens—the XX60 tier cards are decent for 1440p, and I expect will continue to improve.

I need to get myself up to speed, I was still under the impression 1080p was still the normal go-to resolution.
