Balatro Achieves Sales Milestone

Balatro, the indie roguelike developed by a single person, continues its phenomenal success story. The game, which surpassed 3.5 million copies sold just a month ago, has now shattered the 5 million mark! This incredible growth, likely boosted by the recent Game Awards, represents a staggering 1.5 million additional sales in approximately 40 days.

LocalThunk, the solo developer, and Playstack, the publisher, are rightfully celebrating this monumental achievement. Harvey Elliott, Playstack's CEO, highlighted the exceptional accomplishment and expressed immense pride in both the development team and the publisher.

Even after nearly a year since its release, Balatro remains incredibly popular. The card-based roguelike continues to receive updates, including exciting collaborations, and recently hit a new all-time high for concurrent players on Steam. Its enduring appeal underscores its unique gameplay and enduring charm.
