Balatro, the indie roguelike developed by a single person, continues its phenomenal success story. Having already surprised players and critics with its critical acclaim last year, the game has now surpassed a staggering 5 million copies sold!
Just a month ago, developer LocalThunk celebrated reaching 3.5 million sales. This incredible growth, adding 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 as an exceptional accomplishment, expressing immense pride in both LocalThunk and Playstack's team.
Even nearing its one-year anniversary, Balatro shows no signs of slowing down. The card-based roguelike continues to be updated with exciting collaborations and recently reached a new peak concurrent player count on Steam.
