Analysis — Black Myth: Wukong on the Steam Machine
Souls-likes punish a dropped frame in a boss fight more than they reward detail. The RX 7600-class GPU is the limit here: lower shadows and effects first, then add FSR Quality if fights still dip.
Texture streaming brushes the Machine's 8 GB ceiling here at 1080p+. Drop textures one notch before anything else — it's usually the difference between smooth and stuttery.
201 ProtonDB reports rate it Gold (runs perfectly after tweaks), in line with Valve's Deck Playable rating.
Steam lists full controller support, so it plays from the sofa without a keyboard.
