Balatro hit a huge sales milestone

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

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

Harvey Elliott, CEO of publisher Playstack, lauded this achievement as truly remarkable. He expressed immense 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 be updated with exciting collaborations and recently achieved a new peak concurrent player count on Steam. This sustained success demonstrates the game's enduring appeal.
