Let's find the best settings for every game on Steam Machine together!

Every Steam Machine runs the exact same hardware, like a console. There's no picking a better GPU, more RAM, or a faster model to upgrade to.

The games running on it are still built for PC, though, where hardware varies wildly from one machine to the next. That means the graphics settings games ship with by default are rarely tuned for what Steam Machine can actually do.

That's the gap we test. We run every game ourselves on real Steam Machine hardware and publish the exact settings that hit the best balance of visual quality and stable frame rate at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K, so you get it right the first time instead of trial-and-erroring sliders yourself.
