RUNS NATIVE

Podium '80 was build for the Steam Deck and ships a native Linux build.

CONTROLLER-FIRST

Every menu, every event, and the pause screen are built for a D-pad and four face buttons. There's no mouse-and-keyboard path to get stuck on, and no text entry anywhere, so the on-screen keyboard never has to appear. Button prompts are read live from Steam Input, so they always show what's in your hands... It's 3 buttons to play the game

ONE TO FOUR PLAYERS

The Deck's built-in controls are one seat. Pair extra controllers over Bluetooth for local multiplayer — every event supports up to four competitors on one screen.

DISPLAY

Pixel-art resolution, scaled clean to the Deck's screen. Text stays legible at every size the game uses.

PERFORMANCE

Smooth 60fps throughout — it's 2D pixel art, not a strain on the hardware.
