VTOL VR on Valve's SteamOS devices
VTOL VR isn't rated for the Steam Machine yet. Based on its RX 7600-class GPU and 8 GB VRAM, expect a solid 1080p experience — own it on a Valve device? Submit your FPS and rate it first.
At a glance across Valve's SteamOS devices
Can the Steam Machine run VTOL VR?
VTOL VR 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. One signal does exist, and it isn't ours: 43 Linux players have reported running it under Proton, rating it Platinum. That says it runs — not how fast. Recommended RAM is 16 GB — exactly 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
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.
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 — VTOL VR 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.
VTOL VR isn't SteamOS-rated yet. As a simulation 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. Vector Thrust — land red on the Steam Machine, so expect broadly similar. Own it on a Valve device? Submit your FPS and we'll publish a measured verdict.
Big screen → the Steam Machine (not yet tested). Handheld → not a fit for the Deck, or streamed to the Frame on a virtual screen.
