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.

- 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

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.
