The extraordinary success of Balatro continues: the roguelite deckbuilder inspired by the rules of poker has in fact sold more than 5 million copies.
This was confirmed by LocalThunk himself, the mysterious developer of the game, through a post of thanks published on social media in the last few hours. “The last few weeks have been quite exciting,” the short message reads. “To everyone who purchased Balatro after seeing it at The Game Awards, we hope you’re having a blast! If it’s your first time buying an indie title, try to make it a habit! There are some great games out there!”
Balatro has in fact achieved enormous success also from the point of view of recognition, also obtaining the award for best strategic video game at the prestigious TGM Awards 2024.
