Analysis — Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds 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.
119 ProtonDB reports rate it Platinum (runs perfectly out of the box), in line with Valve's Deck Verified rating.
Steam lists full controller support, so it plays from the sofa without a keyboard. It also has shared/split-screen co-op on Steam's list, which suits a living-room box with a second controller.
