The Banner Saga: Factions on the Steam Machine
Can the Steam Machine run The Banner Saga: Factions?

We'll publish a verdict as data arrives. One signal does exist, and it isn't ours: 5 Linux players have reported running it under Proton, rating it Gold. That says it runs — not how fast.

Analysis — The Banner Saga: Factions on the Steam Machine
