DISCORD CLICK HERE

To celebrate the launch of Arcade Tycoon on Nintendo Switch, we are so excited to share with you Arcade Tycoon 2.0! Our biggest update yet.

In Short
✔️ Available on Nintendo Switch 🍄
✔️ Improved Steam Deck Playability 🎮
✔️ Huge PC Update 🖥️

Now available on Nintendo Switch!

Fully operational on the new Steam Deck!

Huge improvements to the UI design and usability of the game.

Find below a list of things to expect in this update.

UI

Each menu has been re-designed to provide a consistent visual appearance across the entire game. Here are some of the main ones you need to know about.

  • HUD: A cleaner and more streamlined look while still providing the critical information you need.
  • Overview: Your new go-to menu for everything about your Arcade. Here you'll find your Research tab alongside Finance and Analytics and much more.
  • Build: Everything you need to build is now in one place. Building out your Arcade has never been so simple.
  • Hire: Need some assistance, check out the Hire menu. Here you'll find all your favourite Staff ready to be hired.
  • Summaries: The Summaries screen is back, with a new lick of paint and even more information.

Controller Support

  • Whether you're on the go with your Steam Deck or just fancy kicking back with a controller in hand, it has never been easier to build and manage your Arcade.

Gameplay

  • Customers will now want to play on your machines more often and for longer periods of time.
  • Reworked the Prize Station to generate Stars but be careful of raging customers.
  • All machines now have a repair cost. This cost increases the more damaged the machine.
  • Staff have had significant changes ranging from cost to overall ability. Each Staff type now costs differing amounts with security being the cheapest and technicians the most expensive.
  • Campaign objectives have been rebalanced to stop bank loans from providing easy completions.
  • Bank loans now have a set repayment schedule.
  • Capped Bank Interest at $10k.
  • Added the ability to hold the "ALT" key to quick-sell or power machines off.

Localisation

  • All current languages have been updated for the new update.

Sound

  • Brand New Soundtracks have been added to the game.
  • Lots of new UI sounds have been implemented when navigating menus.

Tutorial

  • A New Tutorial to help whether you're a Veteran Arcade Manager or just starting out.
  • Meet Rex the dog and allow him to talk you through the opening tutorial. (Audio only available in English localisation.)

Optimisation

  • A whole bunch of improvements have been made ranging from reduced memory consumption to increased framerate. The game is now more lightweight and easier to run.

Bug Fixes

  • We've fixed and added and fixed even more bugs in the 18 months since our last update. If you found a bug in our last update, I think it is safe to assume that it's probably been fixed.
  • If you find a bug in this update, then let us know.
