Balatro Surpasses Extraordinary Sales Landmark

Balatro, the indie roguelike developed by a single person, continues its incredible success story. The game, which surpassed 3.5 million copies sold just a month ago, has now shattered the 5 million mark! This astonishing growth, likely fueled by the exposure from The Game Awards, represents a remarkable 1.5 million unit increase in approximately 40 days.

Playstack CEO, Harvey Elliott, lauded this achievement as an incredible feat, expressing pride in both the developer, LocalThunk, and his team. Even nearing its one-year anniversary, Balatro remains incredibly popular, consistently receiving updates, featuring exciting collaborations, and recently setting a new record for peak concurrent players on Steam. The card-based roguelike's enduring appeal is a testament to its innovative gameplay and widespread critical acclaim.
