Analysis — The Witcher IV on the Steam Machine

CPU vs GPU

Open worlds load the CPU while you travel — streaming terrain, crowds and AI. Crowd density and view distance are the settings that move the frame-rate on the Machine; resolution moves it less.

What to expect

The Witcher IV has no SteamOS rating yet. A similar game we do rate, Cyberpunk 2077, lands green on the Steam Machine — a reasonable first guide until this one gets its own verdict.
