Admittedly, I have never once thought about playing a game about simulating riding scooters, yet here we are. ScootX is a physics-driven scooter game, where you will master tricks, grinds, community-made parks, and try not to bail. It looks fun, and reminds me of Skate with scooters, and one of its recent updates should make it better to play on the Steam Deck.
In this patch, there should be some pretty big changes to playability overall, but there are some specific optimizations that were made for the Steam Deck. It doesn’t mention exactly what optimizations there were, but this could be for performance or to help with text size, which is why the game doesn’t have the Verified badge.
The update mentions that there were huge performance increases all around, which should also help on the Steam Deck, but also just help on every device. We also have some changes for how the Scooter Deck decides wheel friction on impact, and some minor changes to the grind magnet.
You can check out the full changelog for the update via their Steam Community Post.
ScootX is $19.99 and is rated Playable due to small in-game text.
