STEAM DECK COMPATIBLE

CineBit running on Steam Deck

CineBit runs natively on the Steam Deck in Game Mode. Full controller support with D-pad navigation, rumble feedback, and an on-screen keyboard. Resolution scaling adapts automatically to the Deck's 800p display. Add CineBit as a non-Steam game and it works seamlessly alongside your game library.


RETRO BY DESIGN

CineBit has a 16-bit retro visual aesthetic throughout. Custom pixel art icons, a DVD-logo bouncing screensaver, and a clean interface designed for couch use with a controller or remote.

This product uses the TMDb API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDb.
