Balatro Surpasses Epic Sales Milestone

Balatro, the indie roguelike developed by a single person, continues its phenomenal success story. Having already surpassed expectations with over 3.5 million copies sold just a month ago, the game has now achieved a staggering milestone: over 5 million copies sold! This rapid increase, approximately 1.5 million copies in just 40 days, is likely attributed to the significant boost from The Game Awards, as hinted by the developer, LocalThunk.

Playstack CEO, Harvey Elliott, lauded this achievement, praising both LocalThunk and the Playstack team for their contributions. The game's sustained popularity is evident in its ongoing success, including recent updates featuring exciting collaborations and a new peak concurrent player record on Steam. Even nearly a year post-release, Balatro remains a thriving and critically acclaimed title in the gaming world.
