StepManiaX is a rhythm game developed and published by Step Revolution, a studio formed by former developers of In the Groove and Pump It Up Pro. It is considered a spiritual successor to the In the Groove series. The name is a nod to the legacy of the open-source simulator StepMania, as many of the original StepMania developers were involved with the project.

The game was produced with the intention of combining health and fitness by modernizing a simple to use interface for a dance game. The main problem with all other dance game products today is that they are difficult for people to use - so this limits the ability for some of the audience. Additionally, Step Revolution emphasize eurodance and music for a western/european audience in comparison to the other dance games that always have a strong emphasis in asian music like kpop/jpop etc. The game expanding quickly and the only industrial dance game option available for people internationally and also outside standard arcade game centers.
