Analysis — Halo Infinite 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.
ProtonDB is more cautious than Valve's Deck Playable rating: 782 reports average Silver (runs with minor issues), so expect to read a fix or two before it's smooth.
Steam lists full controller support, so it plays from the sofa without a keyboard.
