Deadlock on the Steam Machine
Can the Steam Machine run Deadlock?
Not yet known — Deadlock isn't out, so Valve hasn't rated it for SteamOS and there's nothing honest to derive a verdict from.
We'll publish one when it launches and Valve rates it. One signal does exist, and it isn't ours: 646 Linux players have reported running it under Proton, rating it Platinum. That says it runs — not how fast.

Analysis — Deadlock on the Steam Machine
This kind of action game is GPU-bound on the Machine: the frame-rate follows resolution and post-processing. FSR is the main lever when frames get tight; effects and shadows go before textures.
Deadlock has no SteamOS rating yet. A similar game we do rate, DEATHLOOP, lands green on the Steam Machine — a reasonable first guide until this one gets its own verdict.
