Analysis — Euro Truck Simulator 2 on the Steam Machine
In a simulation the tick, not the renderer, sets the pace — a big late-game save with more agents and buildings is what slows the Zen 4 CPU. Graphics presets barely move that; population and map size do.
Very high frame-rates buy little in a simulation; spend the headroom on detail, and keep CPU-side settings (population, map size) in check.
475 ProtonDB reports rate it Platinum (runs perfectly out of the box), in line with Valve's Deck Verified rating.
Steam lists only partial controller support — some menus or modes may still want a mouse, and Steam Input's community layouts are the first thing to try.
Steam Deck owners report ~35 fps (1 report). On the Machine it rates green — the step up if you want it on a TV.
