Balatro Sales Milestone Surpassed

The indie roguelike Balatro, developed by a single person, continues its phenomenal success story. Last year's surprise hit has now sold over 5 million copies, a milestone celebrated by developer LocalThunk and publisher Playstack.

Just a month ago, sales figures stood at 3.5 million. This staggering increase of 1.5 million copies in approximately 40 days is likely attributed to the significant boost from The Game Awards, as hinted by the developer.

Playstack CEO Harvey Elliott lauded this achievement, highlighting the exceptional work of both the developer and the publishing team.

Balatro's success shows no signs of slowing down. The card-based roguelike remains popular, consistently receiving updates, including exciting collaborations, and recently achieved a new peak concurrent player count on Steam.
