Analysis — Active Matter on the Steam Machine
As a action game, this leans on the CPU in dense scenes — the Machine's 6-core Zen 4 is the part to watch, much like Baldur's Gate 3's Lower City. Resolution costs little here; simulation/draw-distance settings cost the most.
8 GB of VRAM is comfortable for this title at 1080p; you're unlikely to hit the texture-streaming wall unless you push 1440p with max textures.
