Balatro hit a huge sales milestone

Balatro, the indie roguelike developed by a single person, continues its remarkable success story. The game, which surpassed 3.5 million copies sold just a month ago, has now achieved a staggering 5 million sales! This impressive growth, likely fueled by the publicity generated by The Game Awards, saw Balatro sell an additional 1.5 million copies in approximately 40 days.

Playstack CEO, Harvey Elliott, lauded this achievement as incredible, expressing pride in both the developer, LocalThunk, and his team. Even nearly a year after its initial release, Balatro remains incredibly popular, consistently receiving updates, featuring exciting collaborations, and recently setting a new record for peak concurrent players on Steam. The card-based roguelike's enduring appeal is a testament to its innovative gameplay and widespread critical acclaim.
