In this deep dive, I analyze the brand new Steam Machine from Valve to see if this Linux-based console hybrid is a viable alternative for PCVR enthusiasts. We benchmark the performance in flat games and demanding VR titles using the Meta Quest 3, explore the Linux desktop mode, and demonstrate how to install non-Steam games like World of Warcraft using Proton. Expect a detailed technical breakdown of the RDNA 3 architecture and a look at the limitations regarding anti-cheat software in this comprehensive hardware review.
