Analysis — FIFA 22 on the Steam Machine
Strategy games slow down as a campaign grows, not as resolution rises: late-game turns and big unit counts load the Machine's 6-core Zen 4 while the RX 7600-class GPU idles. Smaller maps or fewer AI opponents speed things up more than any graphics preset.
Very high frame-rates buy little in a strategy game; spend the headroom on detail and shadows instead.
89 ProtonDB reports rate it Gold (runs perfectly after tweaks), in line with Valve's Deck Playable 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. It also has shared/split-screen co-op on Steam's list, which suits a living-room box with a second controller.
