Loco Motive now features touchscreen support for Steam Deck. Players can tap to interact with objects or drag items from the inventory, double tap to make characters run, and use a two-finger downward swipe to skip dialogue. The update also adds Steam Deck and Steam Controller button prompts and improves interface scaling for handheld devices.

The update includes a rebuilt inventory system with improved scrolling and new tabbed settings. New options allow players to adjust brightness, interface size, and the background behind subtitles, tutorials, and dialogue. The developers also improved font spacing, the dyslexia-friendly font, character animations, lip synchronization, and lighting effects.

Additional changes include Korean localization and fixes for issues like frozen scenes, characters that disappear, incorrect animations, and missing achievement progress. Save performance is also improved. Loco Motive is currently on sale for $10.79 until November 16.
