As part of a push to get the game Steam Deck Verified, the developer of Space Action RPG Star Vortex has adjusted the UI so it can now be scaled up to 140%, which satisfied Valve's requirements for readable text on the Steam Deck, finally earning the game its Steam Deck Verified badge.

It doesn't sound like this was a simple task either; the community post detailing this update goes on to explain that various UI elements had to be reworked to make this possible. Instead of comparing several items at once, you can now compare one at a time, but you can quickly switch which item you're comparing by pressing a button.

Storage space has also been drastically increased, from 48 slots to 480. Ship Part limits were also increased. And as you might expect, there were plenty of balancing, quality of life improvements, and bug fixes as part of this update.
