As reported by PocketGamer, App Magic’s information claims that the game saw a sharp increase in revenue on November 18, the day it received five nominations for The Game Awards, including Game of the Year.
Balatro has been nominated for multiple categories: Game of the Year, Best Game Direction, Best Independent Game, Best Debut Indie Game, and Best
Mobile Game. This recognition highlights its quality and showcases how well it resonates with critics and players alike.
Since its launch, Balatro has captivated players with collaborations featuring unique decks themed after popular franchises such as The Witcher, Vampire Survivors, Cyberpunk, and more. These partnerships add a delightful twist to the gameplay while keeping things fresh for returning players.
Celebrating two million copies sold earlier this year, developer LocalThunk announced that the game’s first significant update would arrive in 2025. “This update will bring new ideas and strategies to the game, and as a token of huge appreciation to the game’s brilliant and passionate community, the update will be completely free,” they wrote.
