Analysis — Rec Room on the Steam Machine
MMOs get CPU-bound exactly where it matters: crowded hubs and raids with dozens of players drawing at once. Cutting the visible-player limit or character detail helps there far more than dropping resolution.
ProtonDB is more cautious than Valve's Deck Playable rating: 132 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.
