Balatro hit a huge sales milestone

Balatro, the indie roguelike developed by a single person, continues its incredible success story. Having already surprised players and critics with its critical acclaim last year, the game has now surpassed a staggering 5 million copies sold!

Just a month ago, developer LocalThunk celebrated reaching 3.5 million sales. This astonishing growth, adding 1.5 million copies in approximately 40 days, is likely attributed to the significant boost from The Game Awards, as hinted by the developer.

Harvey Elliott, CEO of publisher Playstack, rightly hailed this achievement as incredible, expressing pride in both LocalThunk and the Playstack team.

Even nearly a year after its release, Balatro remains incredibly popular. The card-based roguelike continues to receive updates, including exciting collaborations, and recently achieved a new peak concurrent player record on Steam. Its sustained success is a testament to its engaging gameplay and the dedication of its creator.
