Can the Steam Machine run Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced?

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced runs on SteamOS with limitations. Single-player Assassin's Creed games generally run through Proton, but the Ubisoft Connect launcher adds friction and the remaster is not separately Deck-rated yet. Treat it as runs-with-limitations until confirmed.

Installing Windows on the Steam Machine currently means replacing SteamOS. Valve has released official Windows drivers, but the dual-boot wizard is not available yet, so you cannot keep both without a manual setup and a drive wipe.
