Loco Motive comes to Mac and Linux: requirements and Steam Deck touch controls

Loco Motive, the point and click murder mystery aboard the Reuss Express, got its 1.1.0 update, called ‘Hands On’, on November 10. It marks the game’s second anniversary and delivers on a longstanding community request: the game is now officially supported on Mac and Linux. The update also adds full touch controls on Steam Deck and Korean language support. If you play on Windows, the current requirements are very light.

Loco Motive requirements on Windows

These are the requirements from the Steam page:

Mac requirements

According to the Steam page, the game runs natively on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs:

One detail: on Mac the recommended spec asks for 8 GB of RAM, more than the 4 GB it asks for on Windows.

Linux and SteamOS requirements

The page notes that AMD graphics with Mesa and NVIDIA graphics with the proprietary driver are supported. Intel integrated graphics may work, but they are not supported.

Which GPUs run it, and the Steam Deck

No surprises here: every GPU on our list clears the recommended spec with an S grade, “Overkill”, measured against the recommended requirement. That includes modest cards like the GTX 1650, the RX 580 or the RTX 3050. If you have any of them, this game will barely ask anything of it.

On Steam Deck, the Steam page lists the game as Verified by Valve. What this update adds is full touch controls: they work alongside the controller and mouse options, and you can switch between them on the fly. You can find more on the Loco Motive Steam Deck page.
