In this video, we're testing out Halo: Campaign Evolved on the all-new Valve Steam Machine! As a huge fan of the original, I was excited to see how this totally redone classic performs on SteamOS. Unfortunately, the performance was a bit of a letdown. We test 1080p and 1440p across Ultra, Medium, and Low settings, and push the system using FSR and Frame Generation. While Frame Gen gets us over the 60 FPS mark, the input latency makes it tough to play.
Is the Steam Machine worth it for Microsoft games, or are you better off on a Windows PC or Xbox? Let me know in the comments!
