Analysis — Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit on the Steam Machine
Racing games are GPU-bound and speed makes judder obvious. Reflections, grass and crowd detail are the first things to trim; FSR Quality is the lever if you'd rather keep a higher refresh than native resolution.
If your TV takes 120 Hz, a racing game benefits from the extra frames more than from max detail.
107 ProtonDB reports rate it Platinum (runs perfectly out of the box), 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.
