Analysis — Grand Theft Auto IV: The Complete Edition 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.
652 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.
Steam Deck owners report ~45 fps (3 reports). On the Machine it rates green — the step up if you want it on a TV.
