A fictional version of Mount Celeste is featured as the primary setting in the 2016 platforming game Celeste Classic and the 2018 platforming game Celeste. The game is about the personal struggles the main character Madeline faces as she attempts to climb the mountain. The mountain is also shown on the Instagram page of in-game character Theo.
