Cubeia Upgrades Poker Client Using PixiJS Engine, Adds All-In Outs Feature

Cubeia has launched a substantial technical update to its Cubeia Poker client, transitioning the software to the PixiJS WebGL rendering engine and adding a new in-hand display for all-in outs. This is the first complete rebuild of Cubeia Poker since its original release in 2009 and is now available to operators from 10 September. Operators gain access to a redesigned HTML5 poker experience with improved graphics, faster load times, and new in-game data designed to enhance both playability and customisation.

Major Rebuild on PixiJS Engine Enhances Cubeia Poker Client

The overhaul moves Cubeia’s poker client to the PixiJS engine, which allows higher-performance browser-based graphics and animations compared to previous releases. The shift to PixiJS forms the backbone of the update, positioning the client for ongoing technical improvement and feature expansion. Simon Isbäck, Product Owner for Poker at Cubeia, described the relaunch as foundational, stating:

"This is much more than a visual refresh. We have rebuilt the foundations of the poker client, and that shows up in how the game feels to play — faster, smoother and easier to follow. It also gives us a base we can keep building on." — Simon Isbäck, Cubeia

Cubeia has implemented new visuals throughout the client, including playing cards, player badges, progress bars, and refined animations for dealing and winning hands. The update represents the most significant front-end investment since Cubeia Poker debuted seventeen years ago.

All-In Outs Display and Enhanced Game Timeline

A key new feature is the real-time display of the number of outs when a player is all-in. This provides players with on-the-fly information about their drawing chances in high-stakes hands. Previously, such statistics required manual calculation or external tools. In addition, Cubeia has rebuilt the timeline management system to synchronise gameplay actions and animations more predictably.

Specific update highlights include:

• New PixiJS-powered client engine
• In-hand outs display for all-in scenarios
• Updated dealing and showdown animations
• Progress bars and refined interface cues
• 20% reduction in average table load time

These improvements are designed to increase transparency in online poker gameplay and improve the visual-auditory feedback for players at every stage.

Technical Flexibility and Operator Integration

Cubeia confirmed the upgraded client is fully HTML5-based and functions within standard desktop and mobile browsers, without requiring a dedicated app. Visual elements can be skinned via standard CSS, allowing operators to customise the client’s appearance to match brand guidelines or localisation needs.

For new partners, Cubeia offers entry to its hybrid poker network free of charge. This network model is designed to provide immediate liquidity to newly integrating operators. In support of operator acquisition and retention, Cubeia is funding a $25,000 per month promotion campaign, which runs across the entire network pool.

2026: Cubeia's Most Significant Poker Client Release Since 2009

Cubeia positions this release as its largest client-side project since launching production in 2009. The new technical base opens potential for further iterative development and integration of upcoming poker features. By employing open web standards—HTML5 for cross-device compatibility and CSS for styling—Cubeia aims to lower barriers to operator adoption and increase flexibility for B2B partnerships.

Looking Ahead: Impact for Operators and Players

As Cubeia’s upgraded poker client becomes available, operators can differentiate on speed, integrated player aids, and custom branding options. The all-in outs feature is expected to appeal to more stats-focused players. Network liquidity and ongoing promotional investment further ease new operator entry to Cubeia’s platform, boosting overall activity.

Cubeia’s technical revamp reflects a larger trend towards browser-native, cross-device poker experiences, which aim to balance player UX enhancements with operator requirements for deployability across regulated markets.
