Analysis — Black Hole Simulator on the Steam Machine
A adventure game like this is GPU-light — the RX 7600-class GPU clears high frame-rates with room to spare, so you can chase 120 Hz+ rather than just 60.
8 GB of VRAM is comfortable for this title at 1080p; you're unlikely to hit the texture-streaming wall unless you push 1440p with max textures.
Black Hole Simulator isn't SteamOS-rated yet. As a adventure game on the Machine's RX 7600-class GPU, plan for a 1080p experience — this genre is GPU-light, so there's real headroom for 120 Hz+ rather than just a locked 60. Games like it in this genre — e.g. Weird Worlds: Return to Infinite Space — land green on the Steam Machine, so expect broadly similar. Own it on a Valve device?
