Balatro, the card game that got my friend hostage for days, has now sold over 1 million copies. In his words, “I got hooked to it“, surely proved to be that this game packs something huge, as he’s not an ordinary player, and it’s hard to see him go off of Dota 2 and WoW.
After one month, Balatro has just hit 1,000,000 units sold in just ONE MONTH across all platforms!
I’m so grateful to all the players and people that have made this happen. I still can’t grasp the response to this game, and I am overjoyed that so many people have been able to have fun with my silly creation. I’m so fortunate that I can continue working on my passion as a career. Thank you!
LocalThunk’s Balatro is an impressive game, a deck-builder with a unique view on Poker. The game is available across multiple platforms including Xbox One and X/S, PS4, PS5, PC and Nintendo Switch. Players are tasked with creating Poker hands, with additional mechanic that allows them to modify their cards.
As players get deep into the game, they traverse through rounds called Antes, which lend them special cards that can improve their hands when facing bosses. While Balatro offers a straightforward gameplay loop, it also amuses its player base, which according to the Steam reviews, is quite positive.
