OMSI 2: Steam Edition on Valve's SteamOS devices
The older simulation OMSI 2: Steam Edition pushes the Steam Machine hard — this RX 7600-class box is the limit, even at High. It's flagged Unsupported on the Steam Deck. A lighter title will feel far better on this hardware.
At a glance across Valve's SteamOS devices
Can the Steam Machine run OMSI 2: Steam Edition?
It's a stretch — OMSI 2: Steam Edition rates red on the Steam Machine: its demands sit above what an 8 GB VRAM, RX 7600-class console handles comfortably at 1080p. Reduced settings or cloud streaming are the honest options. Derived, not measured. Recommended RAM is 4 GB — comfortably within the Machine's 16 GB.
Steam Machine
~Radeon RX 7600 / GeForce RTX 4060 class · 8 GB GDDR6 (dedicated graphics memory) · 1080p–1440p native · 4K 60 with FSR upscaling
One call covering Low, Medium and High— this verdict is derived from Steam's compatibility data, which is a single signal per game, so we can't honestly split it by settings tier yet. Measure it on your Machine and this splits into three real tiers.
Struggles at the top settings?
You can still play it maxed-out by streaming from the cloud. Try cloud gaming (GeForce NOW / Game Pass).
Steam Deck
AMD RDNA 2, 8 CU (~1.6 TFLOPs) · 800p handheld (1280×800) · 15 W TDP
Steam Frame
2160×2160 per eye · 72–144 Hz · standalone + PC streaming
A flatscreen game. On the Frame it's played on a virtual big screen, best streamed from your Machine over the 6 GHz link.
Analysis — OMSI 2: Steam Edition on the Steam Machine
As a simulation, this leans on the CPU in dense scenes — the Machine's 6-core Zen 4 is the part to watch in a sprawling late-game save as the simulation tick grows. Resolution costs little here; simulation/draw-distance settings cost the most.
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.
Start at the Low/Medium preset + FSR Balanced, then claw back quality: shadows and volumetrics first, textures last (VRAM permitting). If the top settings matter more than native rendering, cloud streaming is the honest answer.
Big screen → the Steam Machine (struggles). Handheld → not a fit for the Deck, or streamed to the Frame on a virtual screen.
