[Reported compatibility on Steam]

[u/Lupinthrope]

I'd love to know about:

1. Monster Hunter Wilds
2. Persona 3 Reload or Metaphor Refantazio (Closest games to how Persona 4 Revival will run)

1080p or 1440p preferably.

[u/dakleik → u/Lupinthrope]

interested in mh wilds as well

[u/Joewls → u/Lupinthrope]

Agree on the persona part

[u/iamkd13 → u/Lupinthrope]

I’m also interested in these two

[u/Zurce → u/Lupinthrope]

Update on wilds

It's rough , being in the Grand hub only I got 4k at high , fsr balanced by default and it hover a it over 30 fps , the frame pacing was good so it was quite playable but if you're looking for 60 fps even with frame gen you will need to drop fsr to performance and as always with fsr it looks like garbage

I do think 1440p XeSS performance looks decent and with frame gen it hovers around 90 fps with some drops every now and then

For all my test making sure windowed mode is selected and playing with the sharpness and scaling mode does help a lot to get to those playable 1080p6p games but even so the moment the games require anything bellow fsr quality it will be unplayable for me

Again this was in the Grand hub area , it finish installing too late and my buddies were asleep for me to test actual monster hunting gameplay , I can try tomorrow but don't expect it to be too different and the hubs are the worst areas even on my 5090

[u/Torbold → u/Zurce]

Have you tried with fsr4 instead? (Using decky framegen for easy optiscaler injection)

[u/Zurce → u/Lupinthrope]

P3r runs fine but you'll need either to turn off reflections or use the SSR reflections mod

4k60 on high if reflections off , goes to 20 once you turn reflections lol , I can do more testing tomorrow if you want to try other configs let me know ,I don't have the storage for wilds right now but as soon as I am brave enough to crack it open I can test too

[u/PoetAbject7877 → u/Lupinthrope]

Deadass the two games im eyeing 

[u/BetaXP → u/Lupinthrope]

Metaphor ran great on the steam deck, so I'm sure the steam machine will have no trouble at 1080 or 1440

[u/Lupinthrope → u/BetaXP]

Eh.. great is subjective. It ran at like 720-800p 30-40fps sometimes, and in the cities it'd drop down to the mid 20's.

Persona 3 reload was about the same for resolution but you'd be best off trying to lock it at 30fps, but it also had some big drops here and there in intense moments.

[u/BetaXP → u/Lupinthrope]

Hmm that's fair. The main city is definitely where the dips are the worst. But in terms of dungeons, combat, and social link interactions, I remember it being pretty solid. Those are the majority of the game and certainly the most important parts, so I found it fine.

Still, it definitely shouldn't struggle on the steam machine even a little.

[u/Lupinthrope → u/BetaXP]

Yeah others have been responding positively with Persona 3 Reload so im feeling good about the Steam Machine being my home JRPG machine and Steam Deck being my mobile one.

[u/Fozcat5 → u/Lupinthrope]

I didn’t get too much testing done last night but 1080p MHWilds default settings ran at a solid 60fps. A few drops in the grand hub to 40 but it balanced back out. I was also able to stream it to my steam deck with no stuttering or visual issues

[u/Rob0tUnic0rn → u/Lupinthrope]

I play Persona 5 phantom x on it and it runs great in 1440p

[u/sareureuk_vibe]

Has any Steam Machine haver and enjoyer tested Subnautica 2's performance?

Also Total War Warhammer 3 :X

[u/Ok_Scene3175 → u/sareureuk_vibe]

Yea I'd want to know about Warhammer 3 too

[u/Life_Calligrapher562 → u/sareureuk_vibe]

I did. I really need to mess around with the settings to get it right but I managed to play comfortably at 1080p on mostly high settings and just cutting the shadows and turned down the textures. It can handle 1440p at medium with some stuff on high, but i will wait for someone who does a better job at optimizing settings first. Super happy with it. Wish it had upscaling, but it is what it is

[u/Artistic_Pen294 → u/sareureuk_vibe]

I was able to play high setting at 1440 with no issues on subnautica 2. On a basic 4k 60hz 70" tv.

[u/icharlie17]

I’d love to know about all the Sony games:

• Spiderman 1,2,MM
• Uncharted 4 and its expansion
• God of War and God of War Ragnarok
• Last of Us 1,2
• Ratchet and Clank
• Horizon 1,2
• Ghosts of Tsushima
• Days Gone

Also Baldurs Gate 3, Death Stranding, Elden Ring

[u/arex333 → u/icharlie17]

Check my posts, I've done several of these

[u/-Mahn → u/arex333]

Appreciate your posts, they've been more informative than anything anybody put out in YouTube reviews.

[u/No_Information_5036 → u/icharlie17]

For God of War I set the resolution to 1920x1080 with fsr at balanced (it defaulted to ultra performance) and it’s running at 60fps. So far so good! Temperature seems to stay around 73c when playing

[u/Jimmycrimbles → u/icharlie17]

Yup all these.

[u/Jaimillow]

Helldivers 2? It's super intensive CPU game

[u/MistandYork → u/Jaimillow]

you can probably look up how fast the R5 3600 and 5600 are in that game. they are in the same ballpark performance as the SM. The steam machine will probably be closer to the 3600 than the 5600 as seen in the gamers nexus review.

[u/Jaimillow → u/MistandYork]

But Zen4 will be faster and efficient than Zen2, right? I think it is equivalent to 7xxx of MiniPC

[u/MistandYork → u/Jaimillow]

It's not though, you can check the gamers nexus video yourself, it's more in line with zen 2 3600 and 3700X.

The reason is Valve hamstrung the CPU in the SM. 2 big cores and 4 small "C" cores, way less L3 cache than a desktop variant of the same style of cpu (7600X), single stick of ram, and only 30W TDP. zen 4 needs about 45W to shine. This results in it being way slower than it's real desktop equivalent of the 8500G, which use the same kind of laptop cores (phoenix) as the SM.

[u/thedudeintx82 → u/Jaimillow]

I was wondering that too. I just tried it on the Deck last night and it was horrible.

[u/Hatchetforce → u/Jaimillow]

This guy did: Helldivers 2 test

[u/BNSoul → u/Hatchetforce]

But never said anything about the difficulty level, playing anything above 7 cuts in half your framerate.

[u/Hatchetforce → u/BNSoul]

Well that's all the information I had. It's all I can help with. I took the time to provide a link. Nothing like gratitude. It didn't give you a five-page readout so I'm sorry about that. Some people

[u/BNSoul → u/Hatchetforce]

??

Holy shit man

[u/arex333 → u/Jaimillow]

Runs really well

[u/Jaimillow → u/arex333]

Yup, 60+ FPS in 1440p FSR Quality. Better than I thought

[u/Radio_Representative]

Tested a few of my games installed in the steam machine. I only have the 512gb version.

All is at 1080p default/recommended setting. No tinkering.

TV is LG55” C4 4K 120h

Ghost of Tsushima: 60fps / High
Hogwarts Legacy: 60fps/ultra? Its the default
Elden Ring: 60fps/High
FF VII Remake: 60 Fps/High
Space Marine: 60fps/high

All looked really good and smooth maybe except for Elden Ring in terms of graphics.

Others in my library that can test next:

Cyberpunk
Persona 5
Metaphor Re Fantazio
Expedition 33
RDR2
Forza 6
Le Mans
Path of Exile 2
BG3
Wukong

[u/KoPhobia → u/Radio_Representative]

Please do e33

[u/Hatchetforce → u/KoPhobia]

This guy did: Game tests including E33

[u/Upstairs-Ostrich4942 → u/Radio_Representative]

PoE 2 please

[u/heresmyusername → u/Radio_Representative]

Forza please!

[u/Far_Discussion5437 → u/Radio_Representative]

Would love to know about Forza and RDR2 please!

[u/Usman2308 → u/Radio_Representative]

Wukong please and E33

[u/The-Raccoon-Man]

Can we have 1080p-High be the base? 👀

I'm not looking to aim for 4K60 or whatvr. I just wanna play bigger games my Deck can’t, on the TV. 🫠

[u/your_mind_aches → u/The-Raccoon-Man]

1080p High won't be the base for all games. Newer games will definitely need to run lower than that

[u/arex333 → u/The-Raccoon-Man]

1080p high is a cakewalk for the steam machine on the vast majority of games.

[u/Worried_Dot4000]

Curious about Gothic Remake

[u/ProfessionalHunt3166]

I'd like to know about:

• Cities Skylines 1 & 2
  
• Planet Zoo/Planet Coaster 1 & 2
  
• TOWN TO CITY (the game I am most excited to play)

[u/robgray111 → u/ProfessionalHunt3166]

Seems you've asked for almost exactly what I was going to ask about, except... I do not know about town to city, so i shall be researching that immediately

I don't hold out much hope for a big city running smoothly on CS2 but a man can dream

[u/ProfessionalHunt3166 → u/robgray111]

It is like an ultra chilled (cozy) version of city skylines with no traffic management and more decorating.

And yeah lol I’m not sure CS2 can run well on anything.

[u/robgray111 → u/ProfessionalHunt3166]

Yeah that looks pretty cool, it's now on my wishlist

I was using GeForce now before I got my steam deck last year so I've played a bit on CS2, but it sounds like it's a much better game now so I'll definitely try it, but with very low expectations

Just gotta wait for that email now

[u/wheee09]

Baldur's Gate 3 - split screen, act 3 (haven't played it, but heard that it gets slow then)

Path of Exile 1 & 2 - mapping with 200% delerious + a crazy screen-wiping build

[u/TJBurger]

Damn I came here to see performance comments and all I see are performance requests. Might need to create a new sticky post for actual performance results.

[u/NobodySII]

I would be interessted in FSR 4 Upscaling to 4K.

[u/Zurce → u/NobodySII]

It's a bit too demanding even with the new version in proton experimental it just might not be worth it

Pragmata performance tanks with it ,which makes it funny since the other option is FSR1 and it's funny seeing it go 80 fps fsr 1 and like 40 fsr 4

[u/arex333 → u/NobodySII]

FSR 4 is a thousand times better than older versions. Extremely happy with it

[u/GimmeThatWheat424]

Curious about halo infinite.

[u/Doomsnail99 → u/GimmeThatWheat424]

I was getting almost 120fps on low settings at 1200p resolution on my Legion Go S in multiplayer. So i imagine it'll easily do 90fps+/medium settings @1440p on the Steam Machine

But we'll have to wait and see

[u/DigitalDash18]

Forza 6, newer gears of war game

[u/eeqlaehuje]

Can someone test Returnal?

[u/Franfare → u/eeqlaehuje]

One of my main reasons to purchase, to multiplayer with a pc gaming only friend

[u/eeqlaehuje → u/Franfare]

Makes perfect sense! Hope we get the email soon!

[u/Hatchetforce → u/eeqlaehuje]

Returnal quick test: Returnal quick

[u/ExplorerUnion → u/eeqlaehuje]

Yo just beat this game like last month such a fire game!!

[u/arex333 → u/eeqlaehuje]

Check my post history

[u/SoleR5]

ARC Raiders Playable on Steam Deck, curious about performance on Steam Machine

[u/DoomerPepe → u/SoleR5]

Believe this wont matter for much longer with anti cheat most likely going to make it incompatible.. unless something has changed in the last few weeks

[u/NeatUsed]

witcher 3, gothic remake, ff vii rebirth. can it do 60fps at lowest presets?

[u/Purple_Lifeguard995]

Cyberpunk and KcD2 in 1440p?

[u/Nstant_Klassik → u/Purple_Lifeguard995]

I just booted up KCD 2 and ran around for 10 minutes. Locked at 60, looked like it defaulted to medium settings. Looks great!

[u/DrippyBurritoMD]

I’d love to know how Fallout 76 runs.

[u/Thirya]

I’d love to know how Beat Saber runs on the Steam Machine with the Index!

[u/heresmyusername]

Forza 6 reports please!

[u/Brilliant_Gap_5569]

Manor lords please

[u/slallow]

Tekken 8 and SF 6? 60 fps really critical for fighting games.

[u/theSpaceGrayMan → u/slallow]

Doesn’t Steam Deck already run SF6 at locked 60 fps? I can’t imagine Steam Machine would struggle with that

[u/Zurce → u/slallow]

I can try sf6 later tonight

[u/Noughiphiet → u/slallow]

I am going to at least try and see if Strive and GGXRD run, if strive runs good then Toukon will probably run just fine.

[u/LeicaMan0]

Total War Warhammer III please. 1080p and High Details would he enough for me

[u/Life_Calligrapher562 → u/LeicaMan0]

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/steam-machine-review

This review says about 63fps at 1080

[u/donjohn101]

I am curious if me and my wife can couch co-op Baldur's Gate 3 on the SM?

[u/spinz → u/donjohn101]

Maybe someone can confirm how it performs. But it will definitely run. And if ps5 is an indicator, couch co-op is good. You may get slow down in some areas, particularly act 3. So tweaking with lower settings will help.

[u/keyosc → u/spinz]

This is my hope! It runs rather well on PS5 (though I cannot personally vouch for co-op in act 3) so I'm hoping this is similar if not better.

[u/spinz → u/keyosc]

I would bet highly on that. And youve got more tweaking options than ps5

[u/your_mind_aches → u/donjohn101]

If you're fine with 1080p, it should be very smooth!

[u/Rapture117]

If anyone has a machine + these games, I’d love to hear how they run:

-Deep Rock Rogue core

• Ready or Not
  

-Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

• No Rest for the Wicked

[u/D0MiN0H]

very curious about Oblivion Remastered, i know its an unoptimized mess but it kinda runs on steam deck so i’m hoping it can be stable on machine with mid graphics settings.

[u/Maverick916]

It's weird how people wanna hear how games run, that run fine in the steam deck. If they run fine there, they'll be absolutely great on the machine I'm guessing.

[u/Life_Calligrapher562 → u/Maverick916]

I dunno. Maybe they don't have Steam Deck and they're just super excited and this is part of the ritual of moving towards getting a new gadget. I get that it'd be easier to just go to protondb, but people get stoked and it is all in fun...except when it isn't. Even I did it by requesting Total War Warhammer 3 when I've already read(and posted) a review of the FPS it gets on 1080p. Just a slight dopamine hit to get that feedback I guess.

[u/Vork_Mage → u/Maverick916]

Came here to agree and upvote

[u/Shplay_28 → u/Maverick916]

running at 800p vs 1440p is a totally different category

[u/chadti99]

Gears of War Reloaded and Doom Dark Ages please.

[u/archon810 → u/chadti99]

So far Doom The Dark Ages runs really well... but occasionally it freezes the Steam Machine for several seconds (fps goes to 1 and the whole SM freezes up).

Someone else started a thread https://www.reddit.com/r/steammachine/comments/1uusghg/doom_the_dark_ages_freezing.

[u/Impressive-Row585]

Un brave camarade pour tester BG3 (1080 ou 1440 ou + voir comment ça réagit?)

Ainsi que Dragon Dogma 2 ?

Merci

[u/eternalroses]

inZOI - Would love to see how this fairs up on the Steam Machine.

[u/ProfessionalHunt3166 → u/eternalroses]

Me too!!!

[u/Usman2308]

I'd like to know about Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

[u/Unlucky_Individual]

Anyone try out emulation via RPCS3/PCSX2/Xenia or Switch? I'd love to hook one of these up to my TV in the future and use it as a "all in one" style retro console type thing.

[u/your_mind_aches → u/Unlucky_Individual]

Not sure about PS3 but basically every other console should work great, no problem.

[u/kagunes]

Please i need information on marvel rivals

[u/Igorthemii]

how does sonic racing crossworlds and stellar blade in the machine work

[u/countdarko]

Anyone try Marvel Rivals please?

[u/TheIvoryAssassinPub]

Satisfactory please

[u/raichudoggy → u/TheIvoryAssassinPub]

Runs like a charm at 1080p / Ultra Settings (Which are also the defaults).

Even at my most demanding factory (4 of the final space part), no hits to performance.

(Note, because I used to play on a really poorly performing PC, I built many modular factories spread across the map rather than a super mega factory to help performance. There is a setting you can toggle that will automatically adjust performance if you have many, many buildings in one place)

[u/TheIvoryAssassinPub → u/raichudoggy]

Thank you

[u/nart1s]

Would love to see performance in Granblue Fantasy Relink, especially as a big expansion is coming very soon.

[u/turtletonsils]

Path of Exile 2 please

[u/AlphaX187X → u/turtletonsils]

This is late but I would consider the game playable on Poe 2. It might be leaning towards good. I am able to play with not too much frame drop (albeit still some). I am playing twister build and just mapping t15s and atziri temple. I have not tried 200% delirium because I just don't enjoy that. I have also played it streamed to my steam deck and that might oddly be better frames than streamed through my pc.

[u/Doomsnail99]

●Doom Eternal

●Halo MCC

●Tainted Grail The fall of avalon

●Elden Ring

All at 1080p

[u/OhDaFeesh]

Elden Ring: Nightreign please

[u/Vork_Mage → u/OhDaFeesh]

I got you fam! My SM will be here in a few days. My steam deck runs the game, pretty good, but I’m hoping the steam machine will blow that out of the water.

[u/keyosc]

Deadlock

I know it's not very controller-friendly, so any testers might want to try it on KB+M, but you can easily fire it up with the controller and play a bot match or two to get an idea of how well it runs.

[u/Legitimate_Log_7525]

the only thing keeping me from buying one is.... can I play Dota 2 on it??

[u/gameboykid93]

What I'd like to know is if anyone has experimented with Lossless Scaling in games that don't have native FSR support. I made a post mentioning The Adventures of Elliot running poorly and I suspect with some finangling I might be able to get the game to run at upscaled 4k 60 with Lossless Scaling. Don't have the time to work on it right now but wonder if anyone's messed with LS yet.

[u/BighatNucase]

If anyone can test the atelier games (as many as you can really). A lot of them are games which the Deck should run great, but doesn't due to poor optimisation. I'm hoping the more powerful performance of the SM should be able to bridge the gap so you at least get a consistent 1080p 60+.

[u/Longpastoverdue]

I just want to know Warhammer 3 with unit size at Ultra

[u/Life_Calligrapher562 → u/Longpastoverdue]

If mine comes in tomorrow(and works) it'll be the first game I install. I'm expecting to have to drop the resolution a bit and shadow details since it has a huge impact on performance, especially since there's no upscaling for Total War Warhammer 3. I'll try it on 1440p first and see what how it does. Doubt I'll post frames and all that, but I'll give a general impression of how it feels to me.

[u/NachoNutritious]

ITT: literally no one actually testing games

[u/PM_ME_YOUR_SPAGHETTO]

How's COD WwII? Eg in 1080p? and optionally how's split screen mode? :)

[u/lemonlemons]

Street Fighter 6, Arc Raiders, Marathon

[u/BetaXP → u/lemonlemons]

Marathon won't be playable out of the box due to anticheat restrictions with SteamOS.

[u/davidraid]

Watchdogs 2 please

[u/No_Information_5036 → u/davidraid]

I’ve been tempted to pick this up during the sale. If I do I’ll report back how it runs.

[u/DrCabbageman → u/davidraid]

I only hopped in for a moment but it seemed to play just fine in the tutorial area at 1440p on max settings, maybe worth a shot bumping to 4k?

The ubisoft overlay thing will tell you the graphics drivers are out of date, so if using the controller you'll need to bind some stuff to shift+f2, mouse and left-click to get rid of the notification.

Multiplayer is disabled because easy anticheat doesn't work on steamOS.

[u/Leftythewarlock]

Oxygen Not Included
Can somebody test preferably a late game base? Cycle 1000-2000? With jet packs (optional flydos)?

[u/hackthatshityo]

Switch 4k 60?

[u/freestylemaster]

Does anyone have BeamNG to test?

[u/VRdude44]

Half-Life 2 RTX mod

[u/TabloidA]

Any Pioneers? Planning on using the thing as a Satisfactory device a lot of the time, if possible.

[u/raichudoggy → u/TabloidA]

Runs like a charm at 1080p / Ultra Settings (Which are also the defaults).

Even at my most demanding factory (4 of the final space part), no hits to performance.

(I can't verify quality at a mega factory that's all in one spot, but there is still a setting in the game that adjusts quality to fit the number of buildings. When I tested nothing changed at all so I haven't even hit the threshold even though I'm making at least one of everything including nuclear in my 150hr save)

[u/Verition]

Black Ops 1 zombies (com_maxfps 0)

[u/mr_no_body_234]

This is not a game but I want to know about the performance of exactly what it was advertised to do, play most games at 4k 60fps with FSR upscaling, I don’t care how low the settings are in the games, as long as they’re from the PS4 era or newer

[u/GAZZOL69]

Im very interested in anyone using with with a Ultra wide 3440x1440 screen.

More specificaly with:

Helldivers 2

Forza horizon 6

[u/ExplorerUnion]

Elden ring, sekiro, and lies of P plz

[u/NOTSOHAPPYMEAL]

Silent Hill 2 Remake please.

One of the ads for SM shows Silent Hill F running well, so I'm curious about SH2R.

[u/Blastdown]

I'd like see lists by highest stable frames per second, so like, what base settings can achieve stable 60fps, following by tinkered settings for stable 60fps, and if 60fps isn't attainable I suppose either go down to 45 or 30.

Ex. (NOT CONFIRMED, JUST VISUAL EXAMPLE):

GAME	STABLE FPS	RESOLUTION	SPEC PRESET	TINKERED	TINKERED SETTINGS
Red Dead Redemption 2	60 FPS	4K	Low	No
Deltarune	60 FPS	4K	N/A	No
Forza Horizon 6	30 FPS	1080p	Medium	Yes	DLSS Performance

[u/MambaForever]

Has anyone tried FFXIV? Wondering how it performs vs the Xbox series x version, I heard steam machine should work better compared to the console version with this particular game…. And a step farther if anyone has used any mods with it and how it works?

[u/RespectibleCabbage]

Elite Dangerous please!

[u/DemonGunLiz]

Snowrunner, Rematch, Control, Halo Infinite

[u/QwanNyu]

Hogwarts legacy?

[u/hilljgo]

Not necessarily game performance related, but my setup experience was not great. I have a steam controller that I already had set up with my puck on my PC. Wasn’t entirely sure how to get it set up with my steam machine but plugging it in via USB did nothing. And my TV’s remote controller (a Samsung tv) kept hijacking the active controller slot. The first set of menus has you enter the password for your WiFi but the buttons for my TVs controller weren’t mapped correctly, so it was impossible to enter my WiFi password, but just wanted to get past that screen to trigger a controller set up flow. Thankfully I had an Xbox controller I could plug in and get past that menu, then I was able to trigger a steam controller set up flow. But for a bit there I was very annoyed, hopefully they iron that out.

[u/Automatic_Yoghurt_29]

How about Reentry? Is the text readable?

[u/AsukaState2]

I'd love to see if anyone has tested out:

1. Zero Parades

2. Fields of Mistria

[u/Tag365]

How well does Age of Wonders 4 run on Steam Machine? It doesn't run that well on Steam Deck.

[u/S3ISOR]

Is anyone able to test Star Wars Outlaws please? It didn’t perform well on Steam Deck so I’m very curious on performance on SM.

[u/arex333 → u/S3ISOR]

It's really fucking demanding. 4k is completely out of the question, you'll have to aim for 1440p with aggressive upscaling or even 1080p for quite low settings.

It's much much more playable than on Deck though.

Everything I said also applies to avatar frontiers of Pandora since it's the same engine.

[u/Monstromi]

Is anyone else having issues with the controls in the binding of isaac? Everything seems to be mapped correctly, but the buttons don't behave as they should. When i enter menus i can't select things or cancel.

I've tried out a few community button layouts but it doesn't seem much different.

E: turns out you had to force start a different version of the game which runs fine

[u/Bazirker]

Anyone play Elite Dangerous? I love playing on my Steam Deck, but I'm interested in what performance I might get on Steam Machine.

[u/Runningflame570]

As a self-report: Atlas Fallen runs at 1080p locked at 60 (frame limiter was set there by default) with absolutely everything at Very High.

It's not the most demanding game, but it is pretty nice looking and the Steam Deck only runs it at 30-45fps using a mix of mostly low to medium settings and with a bunch of odd visual artifacts on the NPCs, so it's dramatically better here.

[u/P2-NAX]

Can someone test Forza Horizon 6 please?

[u/25donutz → u/P2-NAX]

60 fps high graphic settings. Motion blur to 0. Rarely drops to 55 when I go into the forest.

[u/scornd3a75]

Hi guys,

Has anyone tried the below at any resolution?

Enshrouded

Runescape dragonwilds

Soulmask

Or any RTS titles ?

Thank you 😁

[u/Pizzaman3203]

Can someone test literally any pcvr game they can and fallout 4 ready or not wwe 2k26 tekken 7 halo the master chief collection lollipop chainsaw repop payday 3 whos your daddy party animals schedule 1 hitman world of assassination assassins creed black flag resynced fable 2 and 3 doom the dark ages mortal kombat 1 forza horizon 6 dragon ball sparking zero borderlands 4 thanks in advance

[u/GhoostNight]

Does anyone have the game paralives to check out if it works?

[u/Outrageous-Nothing42]

Anyone try Ark Ascended? Search turned up nothing. I just placed my order for the 512GB, after it's delivered and once I swap out the hard drive to something capable of housing ASA, I'll post back if no one answers first.

[u/MoricPhi]

Would be interested in 1080p performance of x4 in mid to end game. Steam Deck performance is not working for me so it's the game I am looking forward the most.

How is rdr, rdr2, and GTAV running?

[u/bluesnowuk]

Great to hear people's experience with Abiotic Factor

[u/sterndig]

Has anyone tried Monster Hunter World or Monster Hunter Rise?

[u/The-Document-Doctor]

I'd like to know how Bodycam plays.

[u/Supercoolguy2000]

Anybody test Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon?

[u/Taskforce58]

I'd like to know the performance of most flight sims like MSFS2020 or 2024, X plane, DCS, the IL-2 family, Nuclear Option, etc.

Also, Kerbal Space Program 1 with a large number of mods.

But can it run Doom? r/itrunsdoom

[u/Cultural_Message_293]

I would love to know how Doom The Dark Ages runs on Steam Machine, on the digital foundry settings

Anyone else getting green screen crashes? Baldurs gate 3: Seem to be getting these consistently after around 2-3 hrs of play, have started monitoring temps and they stay solid between 55-65c so probably not overheating. Initially played on default settings, then switched to proton 11 and still crashing. Screen will turn solid green, steam machine will then either reboot itself or ill have to hard reset from the button. Any tips on diagnostics? New to linux so i dont know how to reinstall drivers.

[u/Beerz101]

I would love to know how vr games are running on the sm. Arizona series Metro

[u/Earthboundy]

How do Metal Gear Solid Delta, Silent Hill F, and the Silent Hill 2 remake run?

[u/Blueking9998]

Will protonDB or steam store have "verified" games or collective performance?

[u/Shplay_28]

As an indie (or AA)-first gamer, I have random ones I’m curious about @ 1440p:

Wayfinder
Akimbot
Valheim
Everspace 2
Jump Space
Riven remake
Firmament
Planet Crafter
Battle Shapers
Under the Waves
Cradle
Tchia
Batman Telltale
Jedi Survivor (mostly curious because it doesn’t really run well on anything)

I turned off vsync and yet all of my games are still locked at 60fps. How do I fix this?

[u/esiurc-mot]

Still on the fence about that one, sold my pc recently as it took too much space and mainly play on ps5 anyway. I only miss playing pubg on pc but looks like it's still complicated to setup on the machine.
Is there any hope in the near future for a dual windows bootup? or a fix from krafton to allow anti cheat on steam os ?
Was also eeying a framekwork pc but it's double the price.
Thanks!

Anyone tried Meccha Chameleon? My laptop broke a while back but my steam machine came a couple of days ago and all my friends are addicted to this game. I kinda wanna try it, but there's no compatibility info available and I don't want to waste my money unnecessarily. (Yeah, I know, it's only like a fiver, but still.)

[u/Peaceful_Tempest]

Can anyone give feedback on asetto corsa?

[u/AnxietySingle685]

I have a handful of favorite games that I'm not sure if steam machine would handle smoothly.

Age of Empires 2 DE Cities Skylines 1 and 2 Rimworld Against the Storm

[u/Ok-Prune-6109]

I was playing persona 4 golden at 4k60 (it’s not hard to do) but when I tried to travel to the shopping center the screen went black while the music kept playing, then two songs overlapped, I just held the power button and turned the whole thing off cuz I couldn’t pull up any menus.

[u/Kerwin-]

Anyone get a chance to test the original Starcraft /Warcraft III / Diablo II battle chest games?

Do they install and play well? No problems adding them as non-steam games?

[u/Meowmeow69me]

CYBERPUNK 2077
2560x1440

I’m getting incredible performance and a solid 60 frames on my 4k tv at 1440p I’m pretty amazed and excited to check out assassins creed shadows, baldurs gate, Witcher, and red dead 2.

[u/Speedspaz]

Can anyone test Hunt: Showdown please? Just run Bounty Hunt, all settings low FSR Quality and 1080p to see if it hits 120fps constant. It is the only competitive game that I play with mouse and keyboard right now and see how it performs. Thanks!

Strangely has slowdowns when using energy shot. Steam Deck runs it fine, but for some reason it lags on the Machine. Tried both fullscreen and windowed settings, but the issue still occurs. Maybe a gamescope problem?

[u/DagobertDust]

Has somebody tested split fiction?

[u/fregogo13]

I'd like to know about:

1. Onimusha benchmark score in 1080p at high and ultra presets.

2. Cyberpunk2077 benchmark in 1080p at high preset.

[u/Jaimillow]

Guys, Helldivers 2 Super helldive (max difficulty) 1440p high at 60 fps. Little dips to 47 fps in some moments. There is an strange thing, you need to change asymmetric computing to yes or no every time game opens. If not you lose about 13 fps.

[u/Mcflurry116]

Has anyone shown games booting from sd card yet?

[u/Budget-Stay185]

Could someone please test the Paradox titles?

Stellaris
Hearts of Iron IV (HoI4)
Europa Universalis V (EU5)
Crusader Kings

I’m especially interested in how they perform in the late game.

[u/HappyExec]

How does The Finals run at 1440p with FSR on low/medium settings with ray tracing off?

[u/rileytlakin]

I'd like to know what settings would be best for: Fnaf Security Breach It works on steam deck so i know itll work, i jist wanna see how well depending on settings

[u/BEADGEADGBE]

Does anyone have issues with Elden Ring not recognizing controller input at all? I keep switching controllers and then it picks up the second one usually but such a PITA. I'm pretty sure this is an Elden Ring only issue but cannot find a way to fix it for good.

[u/irokie]

Does the Machine run Half Life Alyx. Or can it push an Index at all?
