An update to the existing game
Robust Games’ November 10 Hands On update adds official macOS and Linux support to Loco Motive, alongside full touchscreen controls on Steam Deck. The update is version 1.1.0; the original adventure launched in November 2024.
The developer’s notes say the Mac version supports both Apple Silicon and Intel systems. Steam Deck players can tap to interact, drag inventory items onto objects, double-tap to run and swipe down with two fingers to skip dialogue. Existing mouse and controller options remain available.
Check the supported systems before installing
The current Steam listing gives macOS 12 Monterey or later as the Mac minimum, with an Apple M1 or Intel Core i5 from 2015 or later and 4 GB RAM. Its Linux minimum lists 64-bit Ubuntu 22.04 or 24.04, or SteamOS.
The Linux graphics notes support AMD with Mesa or NVIDIA with its proprietary driver; they say Intel integrated graphics may work but are not supported. These listed requirements are more specific than a promise that the game runs on every Mac or Linux computer.
The patch also adds Korean localization and save migration for players who previously used the Windows version through Proton with Steam Cloud disabled. The changes are developer-reported; installation and save migration were not independently tested here.
US price and the separate mobile plan
The checked US Steam store lists the base game at $10.79, reduced 40% from $17.99, with the offer ending November 16. No exact cutoff hour is stated in the checked page, and the price does not establish other-country pricing or subscription access.
Robust Games also announces an iOS version for 2027, without a specific date. That future mobile release is separate from the Mac/Linux and Steam Deck changes already announced as live.
