Sniper Elite V2 on the Steam Machine
Can the Steam Machine run Sniper Elite V2?
Not reliably — Valve's SteamOS compatibility check flags Sniper Elite V2 as Unsupported, and the Steam Machine runs SteamOS.
Red here means a compatibility problem (often anti-cheat or a launcher), not too little GPU power, so lower settings won't fix it.

Cloud streaming runs the game on remote hardware, so SteamOS compatibility stops mattering — if your service carries it. Try cloud gaming (GeForce NOW / Game Pass).

Analysis — Sniper Elite V2 on the Steam Machine
The community disagrees with Valve's flag: 83 ProtonDB reports rate it Bronze (runs, but with issues that hurt playability). An Unsupported rating can come down to anti-cheat, a launcher or one mode, so read recent reports for the part you care about.
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.
