Can the Steam Machine run Grand Theft Auto VI?

Grand Theft Auto VI isn't rated for the Steam Machine yet — Steam publishes no SteamOS compatibility signal for it, and we'd rather say so than guess. The hardware targets 1080p; we'll publish a verdict as data arrives.

Steam Machine

EstimatedNot yet tested

~Radeon RX 7600 / GeForce RTX 4060 class · 8 GB GDDR6 (dedicated graphics memory) · 1080p–1440p native · 4K 60 with FSR upscaling

Not yet tested1080p

No SteamOS signal strong enough to call this one, at any settings tier — so we don't. Measure it on your Machine and this splits into three real tiers.

8 GB VRAM is tight here — drop texture quality one step at high res.

Anchored to: Anticipated from next-gen AAA scaling vs RX 7600 / RTX 4060-class hardware (pre-release).

Analysis — Grand Theft Auto VI on the Steam Machine

CPU vs GPU

As an open-world game, this leans on the CPU in dense scenes — the Machine's 6-core Zen 4 is the part to watch in a dense town full of NPCs, AI and physics objects. Resolution costs little here; simulation/draw-distance settings cost the most.

8 GB VRAM

Texture streaming will brush the 8 GB ceiling at 1080p+. Drop textures one notch before anything else — it's usually the difference between smooth and stuttery here.

What to expect

Grand Theft Auto VI isn't SteamOS-rated yet. As an open-world game on the Machine's RX 7600-class GPU, plan for a 1080p experience — the 6-core Zen 4 CPU carries the dense scenes, so resolution costs little and simulation/draw-distance settings cost the most. Games like it in this genre — e.g. Cyberpunk 2077 — land green on the Steam Machine, so expect broadly similar. Own it on a Valve device? Submit your FPS and we'll publish a measured verdict.
