At a glance across Valve's SteamOS devices
Can the Steam Machine run Euro Truck Simulator 2?
Yes — Euro Truck Simulator 2 rates green on the Steam Machine at 1080p: a comfortable fit for Valve's RX 7600-class hardware. That verdict is derived from Steam's own SteamOS compatibility data plus our spec model, not a measured frame-rate. Its 2 GB VRAM ask sits under the Machine's 8 GB. Recommended RAM is 12 GB — comfortably within the Machine's 16 GB.

One call covering Low, Medium and High— this verdict is derived from Steam's compatibility data, which is a single signal per game, so we can't honestly split it by settings tier yet. Measure it on your Machine and this splits into three real tiers.

Analysis — Euro Truck Simulator 2 on the Steam Machine
As a simulation, this leans on the CPU in dense scenes — the Machine's 6-core Zen 4 is the part to watch in a sprawling late-game save as the simulation tick grows. 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.
A green verdict means the Machine isn't the bottleneck here. Spend the headroom on a higher refresh target or 1440p + FSR Quality rather than maxing settings that barely move image quality.
Big screen → the Steam Machine (runs great). Handheld → Steam Deck Verified (~35 fps) — great on the go, or streamed to the Frame on a virtual screen.
