Balatro hit a huge 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 impressive surge in sales, approximately 1.5 million copies in just 40 days, is likely attributed to the impact of The Game Awards, as hinted by the developer, LocalThunk.

Harvey Elliott, CEO of publisher Playstack, rightly lauded this achievement, expressing pride in both the developer and Playstack's team.

Even nearing its one-year anniversary, Balatro shows no signs of slowing down. The game remains popular, consistently receiving updates and exciting collaborations, recently even breaking its own record for concurrent players on Steam. The card-based roguelike's enduring appeal is undeniable.
