Balatro Shatters Sales Targets!

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

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

Playstack CEO, Harvey Elliott, lauded this achievement, expressing pride in both LocalThunk and his team.

Even nearing its one-year anniversary, Balatro remains incredibly popular. The card-based roguelike continues to be updated with new collaborations and recently achieved a new peak concurrent player count on Steam. Its ongoing success highlights the game's enduring appeal.
