Today, Balatro developer LocalThunk and publisher Playstack had a few announcements with more to come soon. The Poker-inspired roguelike Balatro has now sold over 2 million units across PS5, Switch, Steam, PS4, and Xbox platforms in less than six months. Beyond that, it is getting a major free update in 2025 bringing new ideas and strategies. Balatro is also still in the works for mobile as LocalThunk confirms that it is planned for more platforms including mobile. Today’s reveal is one of three major announcements for Balatro. I assume one will be some sort of crossover thing with indie developers and games responding to the Balatro account, but I hope one of them is a mobile release date announcement:

If you’ve not played Balatro yet, read my 5/5 review of it here on Switch and check out my feature on the best games of the year so far on Switch where I included it here. I also interviewed LocalThunk about the game, the mobile release, and more. Read that here. I’m curious to see what the next announcement from LocalThunk and publisher Playstack is. Have you played Balatro yet on any platform?
